Abstract: In this article the authors study the phenomenon of crime infestation of criminal personality depending on the severity of a committed crime. The research is based on the theory of personality and fate analysis offered by L. Szondi. Respondents include people who have been convicted of crime against person, property, sexual freedom and sexual integrity, as well as for illegal production, purchase, storate, transfer or sale of narcotic or psychotropic substances. The subject of the research is the structure of personal needs and motives, qualitative and quantitative description thereof depending on a group a respondent attributes to. The research method includes comparative analysis of needs and motives based on quantitative indicators (the level of needs structure tensity, evaluation of changes in 'mean motives' (Ð and Sch vectors), qualitative indicators (comparative evaluation of vector space histograms, interpretation of the leading needs and motives, comparative evaluation of horizontally fused one-direction tendencies of vector pictures), and analysis of data collected by usign the 'semantic key' method and relative parameters (vector space tendencies in needs and motives) of personality traits of criminals in aforesaid groups. The novelty of the research is caused by the fact that based on the foundation of personality (physical existential) one's personal criminogenic level (crime infestation) is defined based on particular parameters that describe personality traits of individuals depending on their attribution to a particular criminal group. Consequently, the thesis about systemic sustainable nature of the phenomenon of crime infestation based on the physical existential in humanistic structure of criminals' personality traits can be also used to analyze their needs and motives according to L. Szondi test.

Abstract: The authors study the phenomenon of criminogenic contamination of a criminal identity in the context of comparative analysis of psychological peculiarities of law-abiding citizens and criminals. The study is based on the personal theory – humanstructurology by G. Ammon. The objects are law-abiding citizens and the groups of the convicted of crimes against person, property, in the sphere of sexual freedom and sexual integrity, for illegal production, storage, transportation, transmission or marketing of drugs or narcotic substances. The research subject is the structure of humanfactors, its quantitative and qualitative representation depending on the group specificity. The research methodology is based on the laws and categories of materialistic dialectics and the historical approach to the interpretation of social and legal phenomena. The research methodology includes comparative analysis of average statistical indexes describing the condition of the humanstructure of personal features of criminals of the above mentioned groups and law-abiding citizens. The system of estimation indexes, proposed by authors, allows defining the statistically reliable significant differences of these indexes describing the most prominent and the most stable characteristics of humanstructurology of persons in the groups under consideration. The scientific novelty of the study consists in the fact that using the basis of identity – the existentiality of corporeality – the authors define the level of personal criminogenic character (criminogenic contamination) on the basis of calculated indexes characterizing personal features. The authors prove the thesis about the system and sustainable character of manifestations of the existentiality of corporeality in the humanstructurology of personal features of convicts. Consequently, the existentiality of corporeality of a person as a significant philosophical and methodological ground can be used for the study of criminal identity, particularly, the level of its criminogenic contamination.
