at the end of the twentieth century, which he compares with the data of a similar
Swedish study. According to him, there is at least 90-95% correlation between the “bad
example” of parents or the direct involvement of children in drunkenness, committing
crimes on the one hand and deviant behavior of children – on the other [17].
It's acceptable that the essence of the criminogenic process of family disadvantage
consists of the interaction of certain negative components of the family micro-
environment with the personality, which results in a negative correction of personal
orientation, or in the disorganization of the family cell, which leads to the alienation of
the individual from the family with a reorientation to the anti-social environment. In
addition, the criminological significance is such a confrontation in family relationships,
which leads to a failure by the family to guard against external criminogenic influences.
The criminogenic impact of a disadvantaged desocializing family is quite diverse.
This diversity is reflected in the formation of different types of juvenile offender.
Family formation of one or another method of criminal behavior is determined by the
type of desocializing family and a set of criminogenic factors in a particular family. It
is obvious that general factors such as alcoholization, low cultural level, which are
common in desocializing families of all four types, and specific as mercenary and
violent orientation, which are determined by different circumstances of family life, can
be singled out. The peculiarity of the criminogenic action is also highlighted in the type
of desocializing families, for example, a family that does not counteract the external
source of desocialization, plays a special role in the formation of the personality of a
recidivist, which must be taken into account in the execution of the punishment and in
the subsequent period of re-socialization, stimulating the activity of the family directed
to confrontation with negative influences [6].
Criminology examines not only the problem of deterrence of the criminogenic
process in particular families and its negative results, but also what is at the entrance
of this process, that is, the circumstances that give rise to it. Anti-social phenomena
can be considered as a negative element of public life, as well-known losses in the
functioning of the social system, the development of which significantly affects the
interconnections of its constituent elements. It changes the interaction between them,
leads to an increase in the role of some elements and the reduction of functions of
others, etc. Some effects of this development may be new, unexpected, unpredictable,
and sometimes there are unwanted side effects. In certain families, there are some
general social contradictions. Many economic difficulties are felt both by society as a
whole and by a specific microgroup. Social differences are manifested in the
differences in the way of life of families, discussed in them and evaluated [18].
In order to bind the general social factors of family desocialization to the same
factors of specific families, it is necessary to highlight the general social factors of
origin of the families of their own sources of desocialization and the general social
