Impact of criminal subculture on the formation of anti-social behaviour among young people

The aim of the study was to study the problems and mechanisms of the formation of a criminal subculture as a product of criminal anti-social behavior and its impact on young people. Objectives of the study: today on the Internet and social networks the influence of criminal subculture has become so widespread that it has become one of the main causes of offences committed by minors. In this light, one of the main social tasks is to find ways to reduce the increase in crime, especially among young people, and to increase the effectiveness of their prevention. The study of the causes of anti-social behavior among young people has revealed such factors as marginalization and criminalization, which have led to the formation of a criminal subculture among minors, and, worst of all, more and more young people are being drawn into this sphere, new forms of organization of youth criminal subcultures are emerging. Conclusions: the spread of criminal subculture and its anti-social behavior pose a danger not only to young people, but also to society as a whole. That is why today the issue of countering this phenomenon and preventing the involvement of young people in criminal subculture is particularly acute. And both the State and society must come to help resolve this issue, on whose active and coherent actions the success of the event will depend.
