Abstract

The psychiatric expertize is the medico-legal performance where Psychology, Psychiatry, Law and Sociology meet. Their knowledge allows avoiding self-defeating and poor expertize results when intending to elucidate the mental status of certain individual through a group of evidences. It gives concrete scientific elements to law administration on psychic phenomena, studying the individual personality. This time we present the case of three male individuals, aged 20, 21 and 22 years who were medico-legally expertized after committing a murder, establishing that all of them came from dissocial families. During the expertizing came into sight characteristics of the victimizers' personalities classifying them as carriers of dissocial-kind pathologic personalities justifying their performance, and being individuals who are incapable of adopting life-together norms fitting the socio-cultural surroundings they live in, with scarce ethic and moral values. These results are related with their familiar antecedents.
