Camus (2012) "There are crimes of passion and crimes of logic. The boundary between them is not clearly defined" (The Rebel[1], p.3). In recent decades, the so-called crime psychology or criminal psychology has been shaped and developed, bringing together scientific knowledge about criminal phenomena. Therefore, the objective of Analyzing criminal psychology in search of the explanation of criminal (antisocial) behavior is proposed; Review the different theoretical perspectives to generate exhaustive explanations of why individuals act aggressively and violently; Recognize the variety of biological, psychological and social factors that put a person at risk of committing a crime; Distinguish between various subtypes of violence and crimes; Know the characteristics of the different classifications of criminals. With relevant authors who support the research as Beccaria (1738-1794), Andrew Kehoe, (1927). Regarding the methodology, it is a phenomenological study of crime, bibliographic-documentary with review of case analysis, theoretical frameworks of the fields of psychology, sociology, biology, criminology, anthropology and law, so this the article covers the roots of criminal behavior, the specific subtypes of violence, as well as crimes. Among the evidences obtained, it is observed that the theories of learning play an important role in the analysis of the characteristics and individual traits (of the criminals), the tension-aggression hypotheses and the studies on social connection and crime. Violence and crime are complex social problems that are better understood using a holistic approach. Among the final considerations is the analysis of aggressive and violent behavior of people, with what is known and not known about the factors that encourage criminal behavior, in addition to achieving the determination of biological, psychological and social characteristics to explain and respond to the psychopathology of the antisocial person.
