Abstract

The main aim of this article is to consider and investigate the phenomenon of «deviant behaviour» from the point of view of scientists of different fields of knowledge and to specify psychological maintenance of concept of deviant behaviour of the law enforcers.

It is found out, that the law enforcers are, as well as all citizens, not only under jurisdiction of norms of society, but belong to the professional group of law enforcers that must severely adhere to the law «On militia», its charters, rules of professional ethics. At all of it each of the law enforcer has the personal sense of justice, personal presentation and attitude toward that takes place around, that what is a «norm» and what kinds of experience arise up in case of its violation.

It is defined that the decisive role in inhibition or not inhibition of the militia workers or by the people as a whole, of social norms play their realization or not realization, voluntarily acceptance or not acceptance; inhibition or not observance of existing in society codes of conduct, depends on many factors, both internal (biological and socially formed qualities and properties) and external, that explains committing or not committing of deviant acts and that forms a psychological maintenance of the concept «deviant behavior».

Its origin is an object not only of the deviantology, as in relation to the new complex science dealing with rejection in development and behavior, but also of the age-old and pedagogical psychology and in case of deviations among the cadets of the higher educational institutions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the law enforcers — of legal psychology and pedagogics. Prevention of deviations among the law enforcers we bind with the improvement of professionally-psychological selection, native improvement of individually-educator work and preventive events of psycoprophylaxis by the fundamental estimation of violations of norms of moral, internal order, discipline and legality.
