Kaftan and other Russian scientists, as well as a representative of foreign science - the American psychologist J. Post. In the explored types of classifications, the most successful and universal ones were allotted, as well as those that are due to their novelty and non-standard approach of interest. At the same time, a number of disadvantages were identified not to let to recognize many classifications as universal and appropriate to the norms of criminal law.
