Summary/Abstract: The phenomenological analysis of a crime-genetic event re quires a particular attention towards all the elements found within a system, either in an open or closed one, in order to understand the catastrophic event that provokes a destabilization of the system which will tend to re-stabilize itself in a new order. The catastrophic event, regardless of its predictability, is the result of the social interactions of the individual and it provides, from an anthropological point of view, a systemic cultural vision that can be understood by any single element, even the most insignificant cant one within the system. In each context, the elements are characterized culturally and the change of just one of them can provoke a catastrophic turbulence.
