<![CDATA[Violent theft is a type of crime that still has a high incidence rate in Indonesia and causes complex social impacts. Criminal behavior in committing unlawful acts is not only influenced by economic factors, but also related to the psychological aspects of the perpetrator that affect their way of thinking, decision making, and control of behavioral impulses. This study aims to analyze the personality structure of perpetrators of violent theft based on Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic perspective, particularly the dynamics of the id, ego, and superego. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method on three prisoners at the Klaten Class IIB Prison. Data collection techniques were carried out through interviews, observations, and documentation to obtain a comprehensive picture of the subjects' backgrounds and psychological dynamics. The data obtained was then analyzed inductively using source triangulation to obtain the validity of the findings. The results showed that each perpetrator had a different personality structure. Subject 1 showed a weak superego function at the time of the crime, which was followed by the emergence of a post-event superego in the form of inner conflict and guilt. Subject 2 showed a dominant ego oriented towards realistic considerations in fulfilling life needs, while subject 3 tended to show weak ego control with a dominant impulsive id drive. However, all subjects showed an imbalance in the interaction between the id, ego, and superego in the decision-making process prior to committing the crime.]]>
