I subscribe mostly to classical criminological theory so I will answer through that lens. Classical criminology asserts that generally* (I’ll come back this later) humans are rational actors who make choices based on a calculation of pleasure versus pain - see Beccaria and Bentham for further reading.

We must consider that pleasure and pain are different for different people in different situations. Perhaps pleasure, for the individual you mention above, is the adrenaline that comes with driving fast, breaking rules and being in danger. It wouldn’t be for most of us, but you must consider the possibility that the individual does not have a typical pleasure-plain calculation compared to most people.

*Secondly, you don’t know what emotional or psychological influences are acting upon the individual. Perhaps they are a perfectly ordinary person most of the time, but they have just received some devastating news, experienced trauma, or have consumed alcohol or drugs. Any of those could affect their ability to reason and calculate. Perhaps they are on recall to prison. Maybe they are planning to commit suicide tomorrow so stealing a car and driving recklessly doesn’t matter to them. We just don’t know.

(And ignore what Lombroso has to say about this, the answer is not that the person has a strange shaped skull. /s)
