Summary/Abstract: Criminals… a subject much debated and yet exhaustible. Do we talk about pleasure or about dysfunction of the brain? Or is the pleasure a result of a brain disorder? We hear every day people talking about criminals increasingly hard to find or criminals who committed this kind of offenses before. Evidentely, it is a progress, a specialization for them in commiting this type of violence. But which are the reasons that make them feel the need to develop, specialize as criminals? Which is the relationship between the number of serial criminals and the number of criminals of opportunity, the differences between them, the reasons for which they commit such crimes? Some conclusions with respect to this matter are required because we live in a society where moral values have deteriorated greatly and offenses do not impress anyone anymore, becoming something normal in our daily life. Through this paper we intend to show how progressive is a serial killer in committing crimes and some views on the above questions. Depending on the answers, we will conclude if our society is dominated by criminals of opportunity or by serial killers and that because we live in a society increasingly immoral and psycho.
