Sumario: The present article describes and analyzes the process of the modus operandi and decision-making in a sample of burglars. Through a qualitative analysis of the interviews undertaken to 15 inmates in the state prison of Ponent (Lleida, Spain), the main findings reached by comparative criminological research in burglary are corroborated in a sample of burglars (most of them Spanish). This study, which is pioneer in Spain because of the methodology applied, is framed within the main assumptions of the so-called opportunity theories in its application to burglars. The findings show that Routine Activity Theory and Rational Choice Theory are fully operating when applied to these crimes, significantly helping to understand the criminals� behavior. The findings also provide, in accordance with previous research, precise orientation for an improvement in situational prevention measures and policing. In addition these findings open new ways for future research in our country
