PREDICTORS OF DEVIANT BEHAVIOR OF FUTURE LAWYERS
Abstract
Relevance. In the context of modern changes and global challenges, such as the destabilization of international law and order, changes in security systems and new approaches to law enforcement, the relevance of studying aggression and hostility as social phenomena remains high. Despite extensive research in this area, the problem requires constant revision due to dynamic changes caused by demographic, environmental, social, political, economic and other factors. Understanding all aspects of aggression allows us to develop effective strategies for managing aggression, increase the level of safety among both police officers and society, as well as improve the psychological atmosphere in law enforcement agencies. The psychological analysis is aimed at identifying the presence of significant links between the levels of aggression, hostility and the tendency to deviant behavior of future law enforcement officers.
Methodology. The study used methods for diagnosing the tendency to deviant behavior (the A.Orel method) and measuring aggressiveness (the Buss-Durkee method), which were applied to a sample of 57 law enforcement cadets.
Results. Comparative analysis shows that the models of law enforcement services in Kazakhstan and Ukraine have some differences in the principles of activity, which imposes certain requirements on the psychological characteristics of employees. However, the socionomic nature and specificity of law enforcement activities determine a similar dynamic of aggressive reactions. The data obtained showed a high correlation of the components of aggression and hostility with such forms of deviant behavior as: addictive behavior, a tendency to self-destructive behavior, violent behavior, a tendency to violate norms and rules, a tendency to delinquent behavior, to loss of control over emotional reactions. Which indicates the risk of professional deformation, especially given the high stress loads characteristic of for law enforcement purposes. This makes it possible to predict and prevent their manifestations at an early stage to take effective measures to prevent and counteract such manifestations. Reducing the level of aggression and hostility reduces the risk of developing other forms of deviant behavior. Thus, the indicators of aggressiveness and hostility have a prognostic value.
