A person becomes a person when he has developed a certain worldview position.

The correlation of social and biological factors in the emergence and further development of criminal behavior is of theoretical and practical importance: deviations in one direction or another determine the goals and methods of combating crime.

The ratio of social and biological in human behavior is not constant. It is different in the initial stage of the development of the person leading to the act of conscious behavior; In the process of development of a concrete organism and the life of an individual; In the process of social development.

In the initial stage of human development, it is important to establish whether any biological factors are at work at this stage that can affect the development of the person in the criminal direction.

In this case, it is necessary to take into account genetic (hereditary), environmental (environmental impact) and individual factors.

When studying the causes of a particular crime, one should not avoid everything that relates to the biological structure of the criminal's personality.

In the process of personality formation, the biological element is much weaker than in the initial stage of human development, and the social element is much stronger.

Of significant importance are sex, age, physical and mental health, and the presence of pathological abnormalities.

The greatest influence on the formation of personality is made by age signs. At different age stages, the social environment affects the personality differently. Immaturity of the nervous system at an early age, unpreparedness of the body to many mental manifestations, inability to really assess the possible consequences under adverse circumstances can contribute to the commission of a crime.

In man's behavior, will, creativity, and the emotional sphere are included. For the individual behavioral response, the features of human biology matter.
