Криминологические особенности личности преступника-мигранта

Abstract

Introduction. The conditions of globalization have necessarily led to the growth of migration processes throughout the world. Inevitably, there is a clash of cultural, everyday, linguistic, territorial, socio-economic statuses between migrants and natives, which leads to the deterioration of the criminological situation. High latency and social danger of offenses committed by migrants are due, in particular, to the specifics of the personality of the offender.Purpose. This study is aimed at generalizing the main criminologically significant characteristics of the personality of a criminal who arrived for permanent or temporary residence from other countries, identifying socio-demographic, moral and ethical, emotional-volitional and legal features that represent symptoms that affect the commission of crimes.Methods. In the course of the research, universal dialectical, general scientific and private scientific methods of cognition were used: statistical, system-structural analysis, analogy, generalization, comparison, differentiation, observation.Results of the research. The personality of the criminal-migrant is considered taking into account the main socio-demographic, needs-motivational characteristics. The most active and inclined to commit crimes is the age group of 26-35 years, of which the majority are single men. The crime rate of this category is more than 60% of the total number of committed crimes. The typical criminal-migrant has secondary general education or does not have it at all, does not have a permanent source of income despite the fact that he is able-bodied. The main motive for criminal acts is greed, slightly less often: anarchist and everyday motives. Difficulties in the course of social adaptation, ignorance of legal norms and moral characteristics of the region where the migrant came to work lead to impulsive, hostile and aggressive behavior. Illegal and easy crossing of the state border instills in the criminal's mind a sense of impunity, and as a consequence, readiness for new, larger-scale crimes.Discussion and conclusion. Having studied the different points of view of criminologists on the definition of the concept of the personality of a migrant criminal, we can conclude that in addition to general features, it is necessary to take into account the national, ethnic characteristics and sociopsychological properties that characterize their criminal behavior. The solution of preventive tasks in relation to migrants who commit crimes or have a tendency to commit them depends on their spiritual and moral education, the purpose of which is to develop a conviction about the need to comply with laws adopted at the federal level, but also the laws of society. The possibility of eliminating the likelihood of committing a crime by individuals can be achieved when their cultural and educational level is combined with a strong moral position.
