Abstract
This article is devoted to AUE, a street subculture on social media and in cities. The term AUE in Russian translates as prisoners' ways are united, or prisoners' criminal union. It is a subculture that promotes a criminal way of life, cultivates an image of a hooligan, and is based on hatred towards law enforcement. However, there is a certain stylization in all of that, especially when AUE manifests on Russian social media. Members are aged between 12-13 years and 25-30 years; there are older members as well. The goal of this study is to perform a comprehensive analysis of collective stereotypes about crime and prison that exist among the street youth. The phenomenon of AUE is viewed as a hierarchy of finance and power that solves the social problems that the youth faces. Financial and legal help may be provided to prisoners from the street. It also creates youth financial institutions such as a shared cash fund and a system for financial and physical support. The article lists popular paradigms about crime and prison, and social practices of the street youth. This article also discusses the social and psychological features of AUE members by creating a generalized portrait of an AUE member. We also determine the degree of hostility of this movement to the state and society. Finally, we identify youth groups that may be targeted by the destructive AUE ideology.
Highlights

Sociologists see the survival of societies in the generation and believe that the survival of societies depends on their upbringing and social life, and they consider children to be the concrete example of the generation, but the same sociologists believe that if a child's personality does not follow the right path of socialization

Summary
Scientific studies have compared the extent of social damage to economic characteristics, and have found that social damage alone has no relation to economic crises, and that the flow of urbanized living and conflicting norms has a greater impact on the emergence of antisocial diseases, and sometimes Some teens will have to break laws and regulations in the age of speed and technology. Sociologists see the survival of societies in the generation and believe that the survival of societies depends on their upbringing and social life, and they consider children to be the concrete example of the generation, but the same sociologists believe that if a child's personality does not follow the right path of socialization. It will interfere with the acceptance of social norms and values, and later it will be impossible for even the social reformers to recover, and the mental and physical problems of these people will be entrenched in the communities. This escape sounds an alarm that the weaknesses and failures in the system of supportive institutions, especially welfare schools and families, are occurring
