Crime and Punishment: Crime without Compunction Raskolnikov committed the crime of murder with premeditation. Only one of his two murders was actually premeditated, that committed against Alyona Ivanova. Lizaveta, his tortured sister, is an inadvertent death: he is forced to kill her when he fails to close the door and she can enter. The crime of the scoundrel Raskolnikov also reverberates on a much deeper moral level among his own people. head. He ignores the ultimate rule of right and wrong, the principles of justice, and believes that if he kills this person for no reason, no one will be hurt because Alyona is a size for society. Raskolnikov coldly and easily contemplates his future actions, conducting "experiments" and believing that in no case will he be able to make a mistake in committing the crime. He believes that because what he is doing "is really not a crime", he will not forget the details and that he will be able to carry it out without making mistakes that will allow him to possibly be arrested . . We ultimately see that Raskolnikov vastly overestimates his abilities to maintain himself and handle all the details of the murder. We see that he leaves a preponderance of details up in the air, leaving far too much in his plan to chance - right from the very first act of acquiring an axe. Raskolnikov is an intelligent man who overestimates his abilities to commit murder; Dostoyevsky presents us with the image of a man who can now commit his crime without scruples or mistakes..
