The purpose of the study is to analyse the marginal behaviour and to determine the dominant factors of marginalization, their impact on the illegal behaviour and the crime rate. The methodological basis of the article is a system of philosophical, general and special scientific principles and methods, in particular: dialectical method is used to form and develop ideas about the essence of deviant, marginal and unlawful behaviour, the crisis is considered as a consequence of problems in social existence, as well as its main cause; historical method – to develop ideas about marginal behaviour, marginality and its impact on unlawful behaviour in the scientific literature; formal-logical method – to define the essence of the terms “marginal behavior”, “marginal”, “marginality”, “society”, “crisis”, “deformation”, etc.; structurally functional method – to determine the factors that influence the marginalization of society and stimulate unlawful behaviour; legalistic method – to characterize such concepts as: “offense”, "crime", ”crime rate”, “legal consciousness”; comparative legal method – to determine the manifestation of marginalization during a crisis and to compare it with the manifestation of deviant behaviour. The findings of the study make it possible to predict further directions of preventing the marginalization of society and marginal behaviour. Marginal behaviour is a type of behavior, based on personal selfish calculations of the bearer of deformed legal consciousness, fear of punishment, condemnation and desire to escape responsibility. The following factors contribute to the marginalization of society: transformation processes in society, social crisis, imperfect legislation, deformation of legal consciousness, violation of human and citizen’s rights and freedoms and inability to realize their legitimate interests legally. The likelihood of marginal behavior depends substantially on one’s personal qualities. Marginal lifestyles usually predate the commission of a crime, and marginals often become criminals. The consequences of marginal behaviour can be offences, increased crime rates and the criminalization of society. |
