Summary/Abstract: Representatives of the psychological stance I maintain believe that the causes of criminal behavior are clearly justified by the Austrian psychologist Sigmund Freud. He highlights several fragments of a person's access to the criminal contingent: the idiom, the ego and the superego of the one, and on the other, the infantile emotional experiences of man. Whether a person will be a killer or rapist depends on his psychological level that has been built since early childhood. In childhood, the main moving apparatus is the principle of pleasure, so adolescents are not interested in a foreign opinion. After this period, there is the principle of established social and legal rules that people follow and observe, but there is another group of people who ignore these rules and do not obey them. In this sense, criminal behavior has a traumatic beginning and is seen as a consequence of violent or psychological conflict in childhood.Representatives of the psychological stance I maintain believe that the causes of criminal behavior are clearly justified by the Austrian psychologist Sigmund Freud.
