Determinants of violent crime

Abstract

The criminological problem of crime detection has a deliberative character and does not find an explicit solution by scientific collaboration. There is no doubt that the determination of crime is a kind of social determination, which in its turn is an element of the philosophical doctrine of the highest level of abstraction - dialectical determinism – general law on universal connection, interdependence and intersectionality between subjects, phenomena, processes, events of nature and society. The philosophical statements about general objective interrelation of all phenomena and processes of the world are connected with the doctrine of determinism, which embodies the active form of this interrelation. Serious violent crimes against life and health of a human provided by law, having a criminal-legal commonality, for a set of determining criminogenic phenomena, as well as the structure of the conflict in the specific life situation are not identical. A significant number of researches, conducted by foreign and domestic scientists, are devoted to the problems of the conflict, especially the criminogenic conflict, its structure, the reasons for the existence and the mechanism of its development. The structural elements of any conflict can be the different personal and individual specificities of the participants in the conflicts. we can identify the determinants of violent crimes, the main of which are the following: 1) general causes of crime (social, economic, psychological, political, etc.); 2) self-determination of violent crime (on the basis of criminal violence there are new manifestations of violence, the development of criminal traditions and customs on its background); 3) domestic violence, which becomes a breeding ground for the formation of violent ways of resolving conflicts not only in intra-family relations, but also outside of the family; 4) negative social phenomena (background phenomena) that are directly interrelated with violent crime: alcoholism, drug abuse, prostitution, begging, freeloading. They are a condition and a ground for violence. Mental disorders that occur in parents and their children due to constant drinking and taking drugs are also one of the causes of criminal violence. This list should not be considered closed, because in addition to the above reasons and conditions of violent crime, there are many other no less important, no less fatal ones, however, even taking some of them into account in the organization of preventive work will improve the fight against violent crime.
