Crime is a phenomenon that originates in several factors and causes negative repercussions in various branches of society. Understanding the causes that lead the individual to commit crimes is an effective measure, since predictive actions can be performed, reducing the costsof criminal control. Considering the gap of studies in the area, this research aims to know the relationship between light crimes and the cognitive patterns of the respective authors. Aquestionnaire was applied to 413 individuals and in-depth interviews were applied to 24 participants. The results reveal that the authors felt the right to commit the crimes, presenting a justification for the conduct. The lack of perspective on life and the absence of positive credentials in Brazilian society have presented themselves as elements that influence criminal behavior.
