Abstract

The aim of this scientific contribution is to propose a series of reflections on the crime of a narcissistic type, inserting proposals for a definitive and terminological profile, as well as a review of the relevant scientific literature. The aim of this scientific contribution is to propose a series of reflections on the "so-called" crime of narcissistic profile, inserting proposals for definitive and terminological profile, as well as a review of the relevant scientific literature.The authors are not limited to merely theoretical and speculative reflections, or revising scientific literature data, but they also draw from their substantial case history. There are paradigmatic case studies of crimes with a matrix and narcissistic profile: a homicide followed by a suicide attempt; a case of incest, a figlicide with Medea's syndrome in men, the particular case of a serial rapist and finally a paranoid uxoricide.The reflections conducted, the examination of the case studies, and the scientific literature examined, authorize the possibility of qualifying as crimes of narcissistic and narcissistic development those criminal behaviors in which there are the different characteristics of destructiveness and narcissistic anger with consequent perversion that can be found in the relationship between victim and perpetrators. © Pensa MultiMedia Editore.
