The following will address the issue of criminal passion, passion salient features of the criminal. The emotions that develops and leads to crime. Differentiates a criminal passion for a common criminal.
Passionate offender
The passionate criminal, unlike others, is distinguished by the fact that in this other types of feelings develop, such as the immeasurable love towards another person, the feeling of being obsessed by another person, a passionate criminal will never attack his victim for feeling pleasure or as a murderer. serial that feels the need to hurt people.
However there are notable exceptions, regret and regrets.
Characteristics: suicide or attempted suicide immediately after the crime.
Confession, unlike common criminals, do not hide the crime itself, confession to the judicial authority as to calm pain and remorse.
Exaggerated affectivity.
It should be noted that the mobile in the passionate criminal is always immediate and the passion that drives it is a noble passion, distinguishing itself from the low passions that drive criminals to commit crimes.
For LOMBROSO, a passionate criminal cannot be a crazy criminal, nor does it have atavistic aspects, nor epilepsy, nor moral madness, therefore it has to be subject with other characteristics.
Crime of passion, like other violent actions, can be approached as consisting of three types of separate units only for analytical reasons.
The first I call the event, considered as the course of specific situations in which lovingly related people who are part of a family and partner network confront each other! higher. This category emphasizes the components of the action. The second I designate as reasons to highlight the framework of meaning in which action is developed and developed; the reasons shelter the thoughts and feelings that give meaning to the actions and are mainly expressed through the intentions, the rationalization and the motivations with which people explain the occurrence of events. It seeks to highlight there the way in which social actors understand and justify events and appropriate them, that is,the cognitive-emotional schemas that guide their actions and interpretations on their own action and that of others. I call the third component of crime outcomes (de-links) to account for the disruptive effects caused by violent action, where the consequences of the action for its protagonists predominate. Finally, the concept of emotional configuration rescues again the unity of the three categories in a complex where the individual and the collective are interwoven and sustained by a social fabric colored by national, gender, individual and social position varieties and contrasts.where the consequences of the action for its protagonists predominate.

The feeling of the proximity of crime is reiterative every time the subject of passionate crime is approached: each person almost immediately refers to a case they know, hear or read. To historical cases, to contemporary cases.
The most common idea, especially among women, is that anyone.
Events acquire meaning for people through a set of representations, thoughts and emotional charges associated with the action (constitutive of the action), through which they try to understand the reason for what happened and simultaneously serve as guides to reorient and to regain the meaning of life. They truly form a complex composition of intentions, motivations, explanations, evaluations, which have a substratum in the evocation of learned cultural schemes but which are implemented in a flexible and individualized way.
Psychiatry is seen as a specialized field of legal medicine that requires equally specialized training, since “together with the other forensic specialties it constitutes the contribution of medical science to legal disciplines for the sake of better knowledge of their common objective: to be human and the resolution of two of its main problems: disease and crime.
In cases of crime of passion, according to forensic psychiatrist Franklin Escobar, what is required of the expert witness is to rule on whether the murderer is indictable by evaluating his emotional functions.
For this, the psychiatrist studies the file, the other technical tests, and he himself performs direct tests. Despite the importance of expert techniques and the rigor of opinions, says Escobar, subjective elements come into play in the concept that is issued. The main one would be the psychiatrist's old tendency to accept serious disturbance or anger due to jealousy as a product of a "macho" point of view. These types of cases, although they are no longer frequent, still occur in expert opinions outside large cities, he added.
What seems to characterize up to now the emotional configuration of crime of passion is a naturalization of the loving sentiment that includes themes that have been repeated for a long time on the contemporary Latin American cultural horizon and that perhaps surpass it. Love and hate are intertwined as conditions of the couple's experience, but these feelings do not seem to be the product of an interpersonal relationship that is lived with their specific conflicts and tensions, anchored in the everyday life of the couple, but as derivatives of a mysterious force of love feeling.
The love relationship seems an indissoluble bond that does not allow escape except for violence.
Fatal love is exalted as an almost sublime form of attachment to the couple.
