“…Against the background of the growing intensity of such incidents, there is a lack of scientific, including sociological understanding of the issues of physical security of the system of educational institutions in Russia [12]. As a rule, researchers focus on legal aspects or sociopsychological features of the personality of school shooters [13][14][15][16]. At the same time, social assessments of security and fears of young people regarding armed attacks on educational institutions do not become the object of research.…”

This study investigates the social assessments of safety in educational institutions among young individuals, considering gender and material security factors. The research, conducted between October 2022 and May 2023, involved surveys and interviews with 1183 students aged 18 to 27. The study revealed that while most students assessed their awareness of safety positively, there were disparities between genders and financial statuses. Despite generally positive assessments, nearly 37% of students experienced fear about safety in educational institutions, with 6.8% experiencing constant fear. The authors' study of student youth demonstrated a high level of self-assessments of awareness of the rules of behavior in case of a Columbine, a high assessment of the security of educational institutions and, at the same time, a high level of fears of an armed attack. It was found that lower assessments of awareness, security of educational institutions and higher levels of fear were observed among girls as compared to boys. Youth with low material status have lower assessments of awareness, security compared to youth with medium and high financial status and experience a higher level of fear of attack. Youth see the main way to solve the problem in strengthening security, access control and technical equipment.

<p style="text-align: justify;">The reality and severity of the consequences of the phenomenon of schoolshooting*, which has distinctive features that make it possible to recognize it among criminal events, are stated. The imperfection of the definitions of schoolshooting is emphasized, and the need for its interdisciplinary analysis and study by future investigators within the framework of the discipline “Legal Psychology” is stated. The purpose of the study is to identify the features of associative representations of students (future investigators) about schoolshooting and to reveal the semantic content of conceptual connections, based on modern legal and psychological provisions. The survey data were obtained using the association method and are subject to mathematical processing. The main results correlating with the hypotheses are to determine the spectrum and structure of associative ideas about schoolshooting; to establish the consistency of associative ideas with scientific information; to identify the understanding, but at the same time insufficient use of psychological terms by cadets; to characterize schoolshooting based on filling associative-conceptual connections with scientifically based content.</p>

Introduction. At the present day, the issue of the emergence of criminal motivation as a complex integrative phenomenon, involving a hierarchy of motives driving to committing crimes of various categories, is actual. Modern society is transforming, and therefore, due to the digitalisation of society, various types of juvenile offences appear and can be modernised. All these crimes have a harmful effect on the overall social well-being of the citizens. Modern juvenile delinquency and criminal motivation as a psychological and criminological phenomenon is studied subjectively. The criminogenic potential of modern juvenile delinquents, their psychological characteristics are analysed. Methods. Different methods were used: theoretical analysis, empirical: psychodiagnostic methods for collecting empirical data - "Value orientations" by M. Rokich; "Profile of feelings in relationships" by L. Kulikov; "Diagnosis of motivational structure of personality" by V. E. Milman; "Subjective assessment of interpersonal relationships" by S. V. Dukhnovsky; "Questionnaire of interpersonal relationships" by V. Schutz in the adaptation of A. A. Rukavishnikov; "Coping strategies indicator" by D. Amirkhan; "Life style index" by Plutchik - Kellerman - Kontetev, Projective technique "TAT (Thematic Apperception Test)", "Method of Motivational Induction" by J. Nytten, author's technique "Dominant Criminal Motive". The fourcomponent structure of criminal motivation is theoretically substantiated and empirically confirmed. The author empirically proved that criminal motivation consists of four components (cognitive, individualpersonal, emotional, behavioural). The specificity of the psychological content of criminal motivation of juvenile delinquents depending on the corpus delicti was determined (Malyushina, 2023a; Malyushina, 2023b). In order to prevent the emergence of crimes, it is necessary to develop new psycho-correctional programmes with juvenile delinquents. Various aspects of juvenile criminal behaviour are considered in the problem field. The effectiveness of the programme of psychological correction of criminal motivation by means of socio-psychological training was developed and empirically confirmed. Results. The materials of the research can be used in the professional activities of investigators, juvenile inspectors, in social rehabilitation centres when working with juvenile delinquents. The results of the research can be used for advisory and educational purposes, for monitoring the state of juvenile delinquency in order to identify tendencies to the manifestation of criminal behaviour of juvenile delinquents.
