This is true.

One has to assume these criminals are actually afraid of death. Many of them are committing the crimes they're committing in the first place because they have absolutely nothing to lose and they want to make the lives of others miserable.If they have nothing else to live for, then why should they fear the loss of their life?

Right. They also don't think they are going to get caught. [[If they are thinking at all beyond the next few minutes.)
