That's completely false. There are all sorts of crimes routinely committed under a mechanism of self justification by the criminal. There's all sorts of scenarios where criminals deem their crimes "victimless" or deem the victims deserving, and thus justify their actions. Similar to how people are more likely to speed on a highway than in a playground zone or residential street, despite all being illegal.
