Spread of criminal anti-culture among young people

The author proves the appropriateness of the application of the term “anti-culture” rather than “subculture” and for the first time proposes the introduction of the term “outculture”, which denotes the process of adopting values that are contrary to generally accepted ones. Based on the analysis of criminal anti-culture, the author proposes to apply an integrated approach aimed at developing a number of personal resources in minors that create a psychological basis for opposing the imposition and adoption of criminal ideology; toughening responsibility for involving minors in antisocial activities; Clause 5, Article 29 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation with the aim of the possibility of applying censorship in relation to the propaganda and romanticization of the attributes of the criminal world; propaganda of family values and patriotism; effective implementation of the concept of state family policy in the Russian Federation; improving the educational level of law enforcement officers in the field of developmental psychology, as well as youth groups; ensuring the availability of leisure for minors (the introduction of free circles and sections, involving minors in public life); state support for social projects that contribute to the formation of active citizenship and law-abiding behavior among young people, ensuring a targeted approach to these projects. The conducted scientific research allows us to study in more detail the phenomenon of criminal anti-culture, as well as draw conclusions about the possibility of introducing a number of preventive measures, which will reduce the level of deviant behavior in the youth environment.
