Abstract 
 
Individual criminal behavior in the context of resocialization of the individual 
The goal is to investigate the reasons and specific features of individual criminal behavior 
in the context of the perpetrator's resocialization based on the analysis of the views and 
theories on causality in crime found in the current doctrine. The study analyzes Kh.D. 
Alikperov's substantiation of the existence of individual criminal behavior as an objective 
historical pattern that emerged long before state and law presented at a conversation at 
the St. Petersburg International Criminology Club (Russia). The paper criticizes the idea 
of  objective  reasons  for  individual  criminal  behavior  and  the  objective  nature  of 
frustrated human needs as the leading cause of crime. Through an analysis of crime 
statistics, doctrinal views, and personal experience, the authors formulate a conclusion 
about a complex interplay of biological and social factors that results in the formation of 
a person's individual life program, which determines (or predetermines) the possibility 
of criminal behavior. Throughout the person's life, their life program may change both 
due to their influence and under the influence of others. The processes of socialization 
and resocialization take place throughout the person's life. Finally, substantiation is given 
to the proposition that investigation of the causes of individual criminal behavior should 
be the basis for individuals' resocialization. 
Keywords: crime, punishment, resocialization, personality of the perpetrator, individual 
criminal behavior.

1. Introduction 
 
Learning about the causes of individual criminal behavior is an inextricable part of 
much of criminological research. The questions of why people commit a crime, with what 
means it can be countered, and how a person's need to commit a crime can be offset 
are essential to criminology. Even in ancient times, renowned thinkers were concerned 
with criminal causation. The philosophers of antiquity (Plato, Socrates, Aristotle, Cicero, 
Seneca),  the  Renaissance  (T.  More,  F.  Bacon,  T.  Campanella,  H.  Grotius),  and  the 
Enlightenment  (C.  Montesquieu,  Voltaire,  P.  Holbach,  D.  Diderot,  C.  Beccaria,  J. 
Bentham, L. Feuerbach, C. Lombroso) (Shalagin & Khrustaleva, 2018) proposed various 
ideas to explain the causes of human criminal behavior. However, as rightly noted in
