The text I am translating is about sociology. I will keep the word in English because of the many connotations, qhich are specifically cultural. Yet I want to include a translation, either with a term or a paraphrase, and I would be glad of receiving any proposals.
I want to thank you in advance.

Discussion
"Jack Katz in his Seductions of Crime (1988) points out that the Mertonian vision of crime simply does not fit the phenomenology of crime: the versatility, the zest, the sensuousness of the criminal act. He points to the attractions of evil, the ways of the 'badass', the transformative magic of violence."
