In the structure of the modern system for assessing the priority of the significance of large and small social groups - values, meanings, aspirations and needs, the shoots of awareness of the importance and significance of the individual as a categorical form are gradually breaking through. First of all, taking into account the individual aspect is necessary to explain the way of safe, probabilistically predictable life of large social groups. Hence, the emergence of the possibility of predicting delinquent forms of behavior based on the study of personality characteristics becomes significant. This concerns, first of all, technocratic concentration in a variety of areas. And everyone actually experiences this process in their direct experience; it occurs without taking into account state borders, professional and ethnocultural differences. Throughout life, a person tries to be noticeable, emphasizing his exclusivity and originality. Society dictates its own rules and norms of behavior, which it has to reckon with. A person cannot do without society any more than society can do without him. Each individual is forced to take into account existing social norms of behavior as a condition for satisfying his needs. Accepted and legally approved social norms, laws that structure and regulate the system of relations between people participating in them are binding on everyone. However, inevitably, in the process of life, human behavior deviates from these rules and norms. In their extreme manifestation, these deviations form such a social phenomenon as crime, and people who commit such acts and are convicted by the court are criminals. But we can speak from a legal point of view about the phenomenon of the personality of a criminal only from the moment when the act committed by the person is qualified by the court as a crime and the sentence comes into legal force. The boundaries of the existence of this phenomenon are determined by law and it ceases at the moment of serving the criminal sentence [7, p.83]. However, even before committing an unlawful act, the individual was a person, and he remained a person after committing the crime. The position of applicability of practical philosophy was determined by the desire to consider the following questions: what are the characteristics of the thinking of criminals - persons whose life is actively and diametrically different from law-abiding citizens; Are there any differences in the thinking of persons who have committed crimes, depending on the type of illegal act. In their ultimate significance, these provisions stated above from a prognostic and preventive point of view can allow us to consider the genesis of the formation of the thinking of a person who consciously and repeatedly commits crimes. Using a representative array of persons held in the Federal Penitentiary Service, we proved the presence in the personality structure of law-abiding citizens and persons repeatedly convicted of committing crimes, significantly significant differences from the standpoint of the humane and structural approach of G. Ammon [1; 11, p. 40 – 44+]. In the process of analyzing the differences in the human structure of law-abiding citizens and criminals, we proposed a new psychological and legal definition - criminogenic contamination of the individual [13, p. 152], which is probabilistically associated with the “propensity to commit crimes” [5, p. 155]. Despite the fact that the interpretation of legal provisions that establish norms and boundaries of action should be the same and equally implemented by all members of society, their individual understanding of legal provisions varies significantly. It is precisely this fundamental position - the lack of uniformity in the minds of individuals - that the outstanding philosopher M.K. Mamardashvili, considering the main question of philosophy - “why is there many, and not one?” [9+], and further asserting: “Here I am talking, talking, talking about some concepts in which there is some kind of universality. They are definable, and that's what I'm trying to convey to you. But somewhere I run into a gap,separating everything I say from an act that only you can perform, each at your own peril and risk, into an act of understanding. I can’t understand for you” [9+]. Accordingly, understanding is a holistic act of accomplished thinking, which is always carried out individually. The differences that characterize the personalities of law-abiding citizens and criminals from the perspective of human structural science are discussed in detail in our works [11; 12+]. Our research confirms the presence of a defect in the mental organization of an individual - the “hole in the Self” phenomenon [1] as a consequence of a flawed, wounding interaction between a child and a guardian. However, despite the additional introduction of a psychodynamic component into the methodology for considering the personality of a criminal [12, p.16,18], the prognostic aspect is possible only in a probabilistic aspect. After all, the relationship between the possible and the real is always probabilistic. In our opinion, there is a possibility of making a more probabilistically accurate forecast. This possibility becomes more obvious if we turn to the peculiarities of the manifestation of the essential foundations of the human phenomenon. According to a very precise definition of the essence of the human phenomenon, which is given by M.K. Mamardashvili, a person is presented as an artificially created being, which is not born by nature, but appears through culturally invented devices [9]. A person is distinguished from the rest of the world by the presence of thinking, capable of realizing oneself as a thinker. In this context, we are talking about thinking as a state that is in connection with being and acts as a condition for other human states [9]. Based on one of the possible canonical translations of the initial philosophical thought of Parmenides, “... one and the same being and the thought that recognizes it,” we propose the development of a methodology for studying the characteristics of the thinking of persons who are carriers of stable forms of tortious behavior, taking into account their human structural personal characteristics. Based on the provisions of one of the outstanding linguists of the 20th century, Emile Benveniste and his main position - “the triad - language, culture, human personality”, the process of language research can be represented as a lens through which a scientist can see the material and spiritual identity of an individual [3, p.45 ]. By presenting language as a key position in considering human thought, we get the opportunity to move towards understanding the nature of the human psyche, as well as the characteristics of subcultural communities. In this work, we reflect the phenomenon of criminogenic contamination of the individual not only from the position of the psychological structure of the individual, but also from the position of cognitive linguistics, exploring human cognition of the world, systematizing knowledge using the category of language and verbalization of acquired knowledge. Just as a building has a foundation and load-bearing supports, a living organism has bone foundations, in which the spine is especially prominent, so a unit of completed thought, expressed in a word, has basic semantic provisions. Such a basis in the modern scientific world is the term “concept”, which is often referred to both in the exact sciences and humanities, as well as in fiction. We have seen the beginning of the widespread use of this term since the 20s. last century, but at the same time until the mid-1970s, as a rule, in complete synonymy of the definitions of “term” and “concept”. The frequency of use of the term “concept” in Russian increases significantly when used in a meaning other than just “concept,” which is especially evident in the humanities. The division is implemented on the following grounds: a concept is something that people agree on, something that is constructed, in order to come to an agreement in terms of understanding the essence, and a concept exists on its own. Thus, in the Linguistic Encyclopedic Dictionary, the term “concept” does not have an independent definition, but its meaning is revealed in the article “Concept” where the “concept” is presented as: “The concept (concept) is a phenomenon of the same order as the meaning of the word, but consideredsomewhat in a different system of connections; meaning in the system of language, concept – in the system of logical relations and forms studied both in linguistics and in logic”[8, p.384]. However, as D.S. Likhachev states, the concept is much broader than the meaning of the word” [6, p.281+]. The semantic content of the term “concept” can be represented as the idea of ​​rudimentary truth. Hence, the concept is something that is “conceived”, but which we have the opportunity to verify by carrying out the reconstructive procedure. Consequently, the use of the term “concept” emphasizes interest in the reconstruction of various essences of human life, which are observed in his everyday life, and which make it possible to discover their true a priori meaning. Based on the understanding of the non-verbal thinking of a person, which is carried out using a universal subject code, we can assume that the conceptuality of thinking, as codable by figurative units, is the basis of the universal subject code. The concept of “concept” can be represented as a kind of essential integral unification, correlated with the categories of meaning and meaning. Cognitive linguistics makes it possible to discover not only the originality and “landscape” of group thinking, but also all the diversity of individuality in the structure of concept spheres, which allows us to study the process of mental modeling of reality, which manifests itself in the linguistic consciousness and in the language of individual native speakers [2, p.10] . This allows us to predict the probabilistic formation of a mental model of reality. The most systematic, visual and structured classification of concepts is presented in the following sequence: Presentation → Scheme → Concept → Frame → Scenario (script) → Gestalt. Further consideration of a possible subcultural group space, depending on the concepts used / applied, is implemented in the following directions: Conceptosphere → semantic space of language → linguistic picture of the world. The subject of this scientific research is the criminogenic contamination of the individual and its manifestation, which is certainly manifested in the characteristics of the personal manifestations of criminals held in the Federal Penitentiary Service. In its totality and features of life, the criminal environment has its own specific subculture, which implies the priority of the linguocultural direction in the study of the concept. The subject of linguoculturology is the concept in its bidirectionality: “Culture ← Human mental world → Language (conceptual structures)” [4, p.10]. This position provides the basis for proposing the following hypothesis - the intrapersonal, preverbal, semantic meaning of the concept influences and, possibly, forms the conceptual meaning of the presented speech activity and is interconnected with the personal characteristics of the individual. The use of a number of psychodiagnostic techniques (ie. ISTA, so. Zondi, so. Luscher , Hand test, t. OSR, t. SZhO, t. Mini cartoon) allows you to obtain comparative characteristics of significant parameters that describe personality in their calculated value. It should be especially emphasized that Comrade ISTA and Comrade Zondi are based on personality theory. This allows us to assess the state of personal characteristics in their genesis. Based on the position of identity of consciousness, thinking and language in the process of analyzing the individuals under study, it is assumed that the psychodiagnostic techniques used will be supplemented with the existentials of human existence - intimacy (“BL”), need (“PTR”), value ( "CN") in their mutually possible direction of implementation. The presented existentials allow us to determine the starting positions of human formation [14]. Was the very fact of the birth of a child valuable and desirable for his physical parents? Has the child sufficiently received the necessary physical, tactile intimacy in combination with the implementation of his primary needs for feeding and care? It seems methodologically possible to determine the existence of a relationship between psychological personal characteristics, the conceptual picture of the world, the linguistic picture of the world and the basic+3-9,2+10,50
