Abstract:
Subjects of combating crime in the process of investigating crimes must take into account the mental disorders of the offender. Psychophysiological processes are normal and anomalies determine human behavior and are one of the main main causes of illegal actions. Recently, there has been interest on the part of scientists. The solution to the crime problem of persons with mental defects lies not only in the plane of the legal sciences. This fact determines the need to study this topic. This article notes the features of preventive work with persons with mental defects, indicates the relationship of mental anomalies with specific types of crimes committed by such persons. The purpose of this article is to study the effect of mental disorder on the criminal behavior of an individual, as well as to study the personality, characteristics of the character and manner of criminal behavior of persons with mental disorders and the specifics of counteracting the crimes they commit. The author concludes that it is impossible to apply any specific tactics to persons with mental defects, uniform methods suitable for the absolute majority, since the anomalies of the psyche and their manifestations are diverse. The activities of law enforcement agencies in this area should be aimed not only at strengthening the rule of law and order in society, but also at the need to improve the mental health of citizens.
