A crime is a system, which is subordinated to the action of certain
normalities. They are different in nature, the original foundations, dynamics
of formation and functioning. Experiencing the influence from some factors of
social environment, psychological substructures of personality, its motivational
sphere, etc. They are dynamically transformed and affect other elements of the
mechanism of criminal behavior. Therefore, their definition, description and
analysis in the light of the mentioned mechanism are important applied tasks
of criminological research.
At a certain level of generalization, the mechanism of criminal behavior
as an information model can be viewed and represented as a set of mental
states and processes of activity, which form such a phenomenon as a crime.
With regard to the specific of the raised problem, we should pay attention to
strict correlation of mental states with the features of the processes of activity
and so forth with the crime casus, and therefore, with those elements that
are traditionally included in its information models – modus operandi, the
perpetrator’s personality, the victim’s personality, the crime situation, etc.
The mechanism is also defined as a system of bones (units), where the
movement of one or more bones (leading) makes a definite movement of
others. This definition, being extrapolated, also stresses on the need to establish
correlation relations between the elements of the mechanism of criminal
behavior. In this context, we can also consider the mechanism as the information
model of a crime in the form of elements of a crime, where the features and
properties of one or more elements determine the features and properties of
other elements of the system.
The mechanism of criminal behavior can also be defined as the mechanism
of offender’s criminal conduct (i.e. his criminal behavior during the criminal event), as well as the collection of information about pre-criminal, criminal and
post-criminal behavior of the offender. Accordingly, depending on the amount
of information content we can distinguish the categories of the mechanism
of criminal behavior in the narrow and broad sense. It is obvious that
understanding the mechanism of criminal behavior in the broadest sense this
category is the same with the category of “mechanism of offender’s behavior”.
Considering the mentioned facts, the category of “mechanism of criminal
behavior” can be defined as a system of information on socially dangerous acts
determined by psycho-physiological characteristics of the offender’s personality,
other objective and subjective factors.
