THE AIM OF THE PRESENT PAPER IS TO SYNTHETIZE THEORIES AND OUTCOMES OF RESEACRH IN THE FIELD OF PSHYCHOLOGY AND PSYCHOPATHOLOGY ON ETIOLOGY OF VIOLENT CRIME. THE SPECIFIC EXPLANATIONS FOR THESE ORIENTATIONS PRESENT, AT LARGE, A COMMON ELEMENT WITH BIOLOGY, WHICH I FIND IMPORTANT TO EMPHASIZE, I.E. SOME FLAWS AND DISABILITIES, INNATE OR ACQUIRED (IN POINT OF THE MENTAL, TEMPERAMENT, CHARACTER, PERSONALITY LEVEL) IN THE CASE OF INDIVIDUALS WITH VIOLENT CONDUCT. STARTING FROM THIS CONTEXT, THE ATTENTION WILL BE FOCUSED ON THEORETICAL AND EMPIRICAL APPROACHES CONCERNING: THE INNATE INSTINCTS OF AGGRESIVENESS (FREUD, 1991; ABRAHAMSEN, 1973), LEARNING THE AGGRESSIVE CONDUCT (BANDURA, 1973), THE CONNECTION BETWEEN FRUSTRATION AND AGGRESIVENESS (DOLLARD, 1939), PSYCHIC DISORDERS AND MENTAL ILLNESSES (HALLEK, 1967; HARE ?I MCPHERSON, 1984; SALEKIN ET AL., 1996; PORTER ?I WOODHORTS, 2007; MELOY, 2007; SHAW ?I PORTER 2012). THE MOTIVATION OF THE SUBJECT MATTER REFERS TO THE FACT THAT LATELY ACTS OF VIOLENT CRIMES HAVE FREQUENTLY OCCURRED AT THE SOCIETAL LEVEL SO THAT THEY CAN SOMETIMES BE CONSIDERED COMMON OR FAMILIAR FACTS. AS A MATER OF FACT IT IS ABOUT NOT OBSERVING ANY INDIVIDUAL'S FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT TO LIFE, THE INDIVIDUA'S SECURITY AND FREEDOM. CONSEQUENTLY, THIS SOCIAL ISSUE IS WORTH PAYING GREATER ATTENTION FROM RESEARCHERS IN THE DOMAIN AND THE SPECIALIZED ORGANIZATIONS. THE CONCLUSIONS OF THE PAPER REFER TO THE CHARACTERISTICS AND LIMITS OF PSYCHOLOGICAL AND PSYCHOPATHOLOGICAL EXPLANATIONS ON VIOLENT CRIMES AND AT THE SAME TIME EMPHASIZE NEW RESEARCH DIRECTIONS.
