Abstract

© 2020, Springer Nature Switzerland AG. Using the example of multicultural regions, the authors of the chapter actualize and analyze social and psychological resources of resocialization of individuals who enforced court judgments in prisons and custodial facilities in Russia, as factors determining the level of efficiency of the process of adaptation of citizens of this category to living in society. The authors proceed from the premise that there is a need for a multifaceted approach toward resolution of the problem of resocialization of individuals of this category, which would take into account the fact that criminal behavior is predetermined by a number of factors derived from determination of personal qualities by three sources: natural (heredity of an individual, genotype), social, and personal.
