The relationship between moral and ethical development of personality and tendency to deviant behavior in students who will be lawyers

the article presents the results of a study conducted on a sample of students – future lawyers, as a result of which the level of their moral and ethical level of development and the tendency to deviant behavior were determined. The authors hypothesize that the high and middle level of moral development of the personality of students will be associated with the absence (or low level) of their tendency to deviant behavior. The results of an empirical study were analyzed and described (sample n = 60). The diagnosis of students of the law faculty of BrSU was carried out using the special tasks of L. Kolberg to determine their moral and moral development and the test for the test "Method for assessing the moral development of a person" (I. V. Mashchenko, N. N. Protko, V. N. Rostovtsev). The parameters of the moral development of the respondents were identified and the degree of respondents' tendency to deviant behavior was determined. Based on the results obtained, it can be argued that there is a direct positive correlation between the level of moral development of students and their tendency to deviant behavior. The results indicate that the higher the morality of the respondents, the lower the tendency to the appearance of deviant behavior. The practical applicability of the results in the implementation of educational work with students, the creation of training programs for the development of moral and moral qualities of the person, in the process of implementing counseling for young people and preventive and correctional work to prevent deviations of behavior among students.
