RADICALISM AS A CATEGORY OF CRIMINOLOGICAL DISCOURSE:CONCEPT, CONTENT, VALUE

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the socio-psychological nature of radicalism and the establishment of its place in the system of criminological discourse. An understanding of radicalism in the social group and individual dimension is proposed. In the social group, a narrow and broad understanding is proposed. The opinion is defended that radicalism is a social practice of delimitation and opposition, based on the denial of the existing order (legal,political, economic, moral, etc.) activity or symbolic ontologization. In the criminological discourse, radicalism occupies a special place, acquiring the significance of a semiotic bridge between the subject blocks of crime determination,the identity of the offender, victimology, and aggressive-violent crime.
