The article examines the ways of normative response to criminal behavior from the point of view of historical retrospect and the current level of empirical knowledge. The author focuses on some controversial issues of criminal motivation. It is argued that criminal behavior has not only social determinants, but is also based on the existence of psychophysiological features of the individual formed in unfavorable social conditions. The article analyzes the importance of a person-oriented penitentiary process for ensuring the effectiveness of correctional influence on convicts and state coercion. Special attention is paid to educational work in the process of implementing correction tools. It is shown that the criminal law impact has the potential to comprehensively regulate the behavior of convicts in the process of applying a sentence of imprisonment.
