Abstract
The essence of individual legal consciousness, the factors leading to its deformation, and the consequences that arise in this case are considered. Legal consciousness is presented as a person’s personal attitude to law and its mental reflection, which can manifest itself in different ways under different conditions. The importance of objective and subjective factors that create a high level of anxiety of an individual, increase his despair in his future, deform individual legal awareness and negatively affect legal behavior is determined. Such important subjective determinants are the general level of an individual’s intellectual development, his worldview, self-esteem, individual psychological characteristics, mental state, etc. The direct proportional dependence between the deformation of legal consciousness and illegal behavior and destabilizing and traumatizing factors that threaten human safety is substantiated. Attention is focused on objective factors that do not depend on the will of a person, but influence his life. Economic factors deserve special attention, namely economic crisis, unemployment, poverty of a large part of the population, inflation. Particularly dangerous determinants of legal awareness are war and the related threat to human life, health, rights and freedoms, as well as corruption, injustice, crime, the consequence of which is social tension and despair of people regarding the opportunities to provide themselves with decent living conditions, or even survive Establishing the role of personal factors in the deformation of legal awareness, studying and analyzing criminogenic situations from the point of view of their subjective perception by the individual - all this will contribute to expanding the capabilities of law enforcement agencies in the field of crime prediction and prevention. The state has the duty to prevent threats to the welfare of society and the quality of life of the country’s citizens. A state striving to achieve progress in overcoming illegal behavior must fight corruption and injustice, and ensure equality of all before the law.
