Criminological characteristics of perpetrators of crimes within ethnic criminal structures
An in-depth study and knowledge of the criminological characteristics of ethnic organized crime is not possible without considering such an important issue as the subjective characteristics of persons who commit crimes within ethnic criminal communities and groups. According to the author of the article, the complexity of the study of such a question is rooted in the very ethnic nature of the communities involved in crimes. The moral and psychological state of the person of an ethnic criminal should be based on the study not only of his present, but also of the past, since it is unlikely that the tendency to criminal behavior is an innate factor, but rather an acquired form of behavior.
