The most important facts about recidivists, the factors that influence their behavior, gives us the psychology of crime and, in particular, alcoholism. First, we will analyze the most important facts about recurrent behavior, check the statistics, and from this we will draw some conclusions. Most repeat offenders begin their careers during adolescence, about seventy percent of recidivists are mistaken for their antisocial life before the age of eighteen. What pushes teenagers to such deviant behavior? This may be dissatisfaction with social needs, lack of life prospects, cancellation of criminal liability for alcohol consumption, prostitution, these are microsocial factors such as family relationships, friends, internal factors - personal characteristics of the individual, poor leisure organization and the cult of violence, which is preached by a multitude information sources. For example, cult films about crime, murders leave a trace in the adolescent's mind, distorting his idea of crime, when such behavior can seem steep and entertaining, quite dramatic and interesting, why not? Also, in a lot of recidivists, their actions are directly related to personal factors, internal conflicts, or relations in the family.
Indicators of deviation from social norms in different countries are quite high. What can be the cause? We will analyze the social causes of deviant and recurrent behavior. This may be social inequality, an indicator of low morale of the environment of a person, his country, an environment that is not so supportive, but also neutrally refers to this kind of behavior. Alcoholism, like crime, is the main form of deviant behavior. Juveniles more often commit such acts, because they feel an acute need for self-respect, risk, aggressiveness, they have emotional instability and as yet inadequate perception of reality, which can push them to relapse crime and alcoholism.
An interesting fact about recidivism is that the number of men prevails over the number of women, namely, 2.5 times. This is because the reasons for this behavior are more typical for men than for women. But even the representatives of the weaker sex also have cases of recidivism. What can push them to this? The personal qualities of women recidivist are much more negative than men. Many women suffer from alcoholism and are more likely to experience family breakdown than men. For them, the loss of social ties is most tragic, afterwards, loneliness and alcoholism arise, which lead to recurrent criminality, antisocial behavior or other forms of deviance.
Most of us are aware of the negative impact of alcohol on the body. But his harm is inflicted not only on the individual and the health of the individual, alcohol pushes people to antisocial behavior, not tormented by a sense of conscience. Alcohol is an obvious companion of deviant behavior and crime. In a state of intoxication, 2/3 of crimes are committed, of which a fifth is committed in order to buy alcohol and drugs. Dependence on alcohol increases, the number of convictions further pushes the recidivist toward antisocial behavior. Free time at the recidivists is accompanied by drunkenness, everyday in about three out of four recidivists.
In addition, alcohol leads to pathologies of the psyche, distortion of the perception of reality and itself, which makes the crimes of the recidivist more frequent, cruel and antisocial. The personality of the recidivist is most often encountered in three types: situational, antisocial and antisocial.
The nature of the crimes of situational personalities depends on the case and the particular situation. Antisocial personalities are the most educated recidivists, who are characterized by planning, the most dangerous, malicious and threatening to society. Often, splashing out anger at others, committing crimes against the people and thereby emphasizing their individuality, the recidivists assert themselves, struggle with an inferiority complex. The most frequent psychological self-affirmation is the separation from the circle of "our own". Recidivists of the antisocial type are more indifferent to the surrounding world, they are characterized by apathy, alcoholism, committing of smaller crimes, low intellect. Women-recidivists rarely meet with the antisocial type of personality, for them the most characteristic is antisocial. Under the influence of alcohol, mental disorders and social perception, personal motives, loss of someone close, women commit many minor crimes, such as, for example, theft.
The psychology of recidivism and alcoholism are inextricably linked. Especially the effects of alcohol in such cases are women who can not overcome their problems on their own. With the help of alcohol, they are removed from society and act contrary to it. Unfortunately, with an unfortunate woman such a person turns into a criminal, killing from within himself and his life, and sometimes other people.
