All right, so we're going to give two different theories here because there's lots of things we could use to explain why someone might commit a crime from a psychological perspective.
00:06

This is the part that contains sexual and aggressive drives, hidden memories, your desire for food, water, your basic needs.

So according to this theory, the id is what would drive you to commit a crime because of the aggressive aspect.
