Abstract:  Criminal social resistance refers to an individuals resistance and refusal of the social system by means of crime and a nonrealistic conflict evolved from the struggle for interests. Criminal social resistance develops through four basic acts: significant conflict over interests, strugglers expression about interests, continuous suppression by the strong party, and release of hostility. The basic motivations for the serial acts are four elements: suppression, legitimacy, sense of being deprived, and possibility of recovering what is deprived, which interact with one another and shape the strugglers marginalized personality that is to be externalized as an ethic behavior to gain recognition and dignity at all costs.
