"It is proven that external influences can shape a person to crime, and conversely, it is also proven that genetic disposition is responsible for part of our behavior," says psychologist Vladimír Svoboda.

What comes to mind when I say the word criminal? Of course, the first thing that jumps out at me, probably like most of us, is the criminal code. He determines it exhaustively. But the matter is not so simple. Can a person who steals two bars of chocolate during the state of emergency be called a criminal and gets five years in prison? Or vice versa, when the former governor pays her deputies 200,000 per month in an antisocial manner from public funds, and she is not a criminal? From a social point of view, the latter is certainly a much worse anti-social act, and yet the first person is declared an anti-social criminal.

In psychology, when the word criminal comes to mind, the first thing that jumps out is the criminal of affect and the planning criminal. Most violent crimes take place in an affect. There are studies showing that if you are attacked or killed, it will most likely be at the hands of someone close to you and in an affective state. Clinical psychologists used EEG to examine the differences in brain functioning between impulsive and planning criminals and found that their brains differed significantly.
