The students under conducted research were chosen form economic, managerial and legal departments of University. The author examines in detail such aspects of the topic as: the permissibility of violating laws in the mass consciousness of students, the reasons for committing illegal acts and the factors that deter from violating the law. The work also reveals such aspects of the problem as: the frequency of applying to specialists for legal assistance, the main difficulties faced by young people in obtaining and applying legal information, the reasons for refusing to protect their own rights. Special attention is paid to the specialty of legal behavior of students from law department of University. As a result of the study, the following conclusions were obtained: ignorance of the law often leads to the commission of illegal actions, there is also a psychological nature of offenses when a crime is committed under the influence of feelings, emotions or "illegal acts committed for friendship". There are professional features of legal behavior. Students studying in the specialty "Judicial and prosecutorial activity" are more likely than others to think about preserving their positive reputation. A significant part of respondents are poorly oriented in the sources of obtaining legal information and do not always understand where to turn for help. A fifth of all respondents do not defend their rights. There is still a fairly high level of distrust towards the police.
