Abstract: The subject of the research is the conditions for preventing and correcting the criminal nature of the adolescent's personality defined by the authors as a qualitative and dynamic characteristic of the personality (its variability, susceptibility to correction and correction), the fundamental basis of which is the set of criminogenic qualities of the person and antisocial, illegal motives that cause the tendency of a teenager to choose illegal means to satisfy his desires and needs. Substantially criminogenic orientation is represented by the following parameters: personality characteristics, teen character traits; social relations; representation and subjective attitude to their future.An empirical study was carried out, the main purpose of which was a detailed analysis of the subject of study.The urgency of the work causes the need for early prevention and effective correction of the criminal nature of the adolescent's personality, with the aim of preventing its formation in a sustainable personality formation. There is a clear contradiction between the need of modern society for a law-abiding younger generation and an increase in the growth of juvenile delinquency; Between the need for practice in the theoretical, methodical support of the process of prevention and correction of the criminal situation and the absence of practical recommendations for the implementation of these processes and increasing their effectiveness. The desire to resolve contradictions has determined the problem of research - the identification of the psychological and pedagogical conditions of early prevention and effective correction of the criminal nature of the adolescent's personality.We proceeded from the assumption that early prophylaxis and effective correction of criminogenic orientation is possible when the following psychological and pedagogical conditions are realized: a) a comprehensive study of the personality of adolescents (socio-psychological, individual and personal characteristics); Identification of criminogenic qualities and unlawful, antisocial motives of behavior; B) the formation of an attitude toward a change in criminogenic qualities and unlawful, antisocial motives of behavior; Formation of a positive, value attitude to their future; Optimization of relations with the society (changing the parameters of the crime-oriented nature); C) organization of interaction between specialists of various profiles as subjects of the corrective process.An analysis of the changes in the criminal nature of the adolescent's personality (in the aspect of its constituent components), with the consistent implementation of psychological and pedagogical conditions, was carried out with the help of techniques conducted before and after the implementation of corrective measures: "Diagnostics of propensity to deviant, unlawful behavior" (developed by the Vologda counseling center And humanitarian research "Development"); "Value orientations" M. Rokich, "Assessment of the degree of recognition of guilt" (developed by N. P. Kreidun, E. E. Polivanova, L. N. Yavorovskaya), the Bassa-Darka questionnaire, "Unfinished sentences" (Saks-Levi). Qualitative and quantitative analysis of the changes took place, methods of mathematical statistics were used (t - Student's test).The study made it possible to establish that the prevention and correction of the criminal nature of the adolescent's personality will be most effective if the following conditions are met: a) a comprehensive study of the personality of adolescents (socio-psychological characteristics: conflict, hostility, aggression, propensity to violence in relationships with adults and peers, inclination towards Violation of established social norms and rules, etc., and individually-personal: emotional instability, impulsivity, excitability, accentuation x And others); B) the formation of an attitude to change the criminal qualities and illegal, antisocial motives of behavior (awareness of the need to change the negative qualities of the individual, the emergence of desire and willingness to change their behavior, lifestyle); Formation of a positive, value attitude to their future (adequate, objective representation of the future, changing priorities in determining life goals, values); Optimization of relations with the society (reduction of conflict, hostility, aggressiveness in relations, propensity to violence, increase in the level of social adaptation); C) the organization of interaction between specialists of various profiles as subjects of the corrective process (the creative process of jointly solving the problems of adolescents, through the implementation of their individual activities, their content, the main goal: to direct joint actions to create conditions for the development of the personality of the adolescent).Scientific novelty of the conducted research, which does not pretend to be exhaustive, consists in revealing the psychological and pedagogical conditions that contribute to early prevention and effective correction of the criminal orientation. The practical significance of the study is to enrich the practice of interaction between specialists

Abstract: The subject of the research is the criminal character of a teenager as an attribute and dynamic personality trait that is fundamentally based on a set of negative (criminogenic) personality traits and illegal (antisocial) motives that determine a teenager's inclination to choose unlawful ways and means to satisfy his or her desires and needs. As follows from its contents, criminogenic orientation is represented by the following parameters: social relationships with adults and peers, personal traits, idea of his or her future and his or her subjective attitude towards it. The authors of the article conducted an empirical research aimed at a detailed analysis of the research subject. The authors based their research on the supposition that a set of negative (criminogenic) personality traits of a teenager is a certain consistent combination of several, not just one, interrelated features including: distorted system of life values, chronic conflicts in relations with adults and peers, hostility and aggression, inadequate vision of his or her future, accentuation of personality traits, emotional instability, undeveloped or low level of self-concept, psychological inclination towards delinquent behavior, and external locus of control. According to the authors, the prevailing motives of violations committed by teenagers include the following groups of antisocial motives: desire to have a revenge, to become a leader among peers, to get material benefits, to look like others, to act as others insist on, to hide a crime that has been committed, etc. In order to conduct an empirical research of criminogenic orientation of teenager personalities, the following mehods have been chosen by the authors: The Conscience Scale by V. Melnikov and L. Yampolsky, Pathocharacterlogical Diagnostic Questionnaire by A. Lichko and N. Ivanov, Teenager Locus of Control Inventory  by O. Eliseev, Aggression Inventory by Buss-Durkey, The Level of Admission of Guilt by the Convict by N. Kreydun and E. Polivanova, Sack's Sentence Completion Test, Rokich's Values Test, E. Saenko's Behavior and Symbol. To assess the psychological inclination towards delinquent behavior, the authors have used the method developed by the consulting and humanities center 'Razvitie' (Development) (Vologda) called Antisocial Behavior Inventory. To define the leading motives of violation commitment the authors have used stories offered by L. Bozhovish and describing conflict situations when a teenager has to make a moral choice as well as essays offered by P. Belsky. Criteria for selecting methodological tools included theoretical provisions about criminogenic orientation of teenagers (including elements of such orientation). The research results have demonstrated that teenager criminogenic orientation is evident as negative (criminogenic) personality traits and antisocial motives. The scientific novelty of the research is ucased by the fact that the authors offer their definition of criminogenic orientation and describe elements of such orientation. Practical significance is due to the fact that the study is aimed at improving the activities of the psychological education service, units for juvenile affairs in the aspect of early prevention and correction of the criminal character of the person. By using mathematical statistical methods (correlation and factor analysis), the authors have defined six factors that should be the main factors in the process of correction and early prevention of criminogenic activity. These factors include: a) inclination towards aggression and hospitality; b) selection of illegal ways of satisfaction one's needs and desires; c) manifestation of negative emotions and accumulation of negative feelings; d) blaming others and circumstances for what happens in one's life; e) distorted life values; f) defected social relations.
