Abstract:
У статті розкрито вплив професійної деформації на роботу персоналу місць несвободи
Державної кримінально-виконавчої служби України, а саме: відсутність належної мотивації до
виконання оперативно-службових завдань; особливості мікросередовища, в якому доводиться
працювати; психоемоційна напруженість; відсутність належного соціально-правового захисту
тощо. Обґрунтовано важливість правосвідомості та моральності для виконання оперативнослужбової діяльності, виправлення та ресоціалізації засуджених. Доведено, що професійно
деформований персонал місць несвободи Державної кримінально-виконавчої служби України знає
правові та моральні норми, але суб’єктивно та довільно виконує їх, виправдовуючи свої дії
різними обставинами, пов’язаними зі специфікою психології та поведінки засуджених.
Description:
The article reveals the
impact of professional deformation on the work of staff custodial settings of the State Criminal-executive
Service of Ukraine, namely: lack of proper motivation to perform operational and service tasks; features
of the microenvironment in which to operate; psycho-emotional tension; lack of proper social and legal
protection, etc.
The importance of legal awareness and morality for the implementation of operational and
official activities, correction and resocialization of convicts is justified. It has been proven that
professionally deformed staff custodial settings of the State Criminal-executive Service know legal and
moral norms, but subjectively and arbitrarily fulfill them, justifying their actions with various
circumstances related to the specifics of the psychology and behavior of convicts.
It has been proven that the professional deformation of custodial settings staff of the State
Criminal-executive Service of Ukraine should be considered as specific working conditions, since they
are closely related to the influence of extremely unfavorable factors, namely: inadequate professional
attitudes; proactive formation of labor skills and skills in terms of professionally significant personality
qualities; psychological overload; constant negative influence on the part of convicts; extremity; sustained
emotional tension; lack of positive reinforcement; a small prestige of the profession and a lack of
understanding of the importance of work on the part of society.
It is noted that psycho-emotional tension plays a great importance for working with convicts in
custodial settings of the SCES of Ukraine, which significantly affects the emergence of professional
deformation among of custodial settings staff of the SCES of Ukraine, especially this was manifested in
martial law in Ukraine after February 24, 2022.
So, the professional deformation of custodial settings staff of the SCES considered as the point
of view of the legal reality embodiment, saturated with socio-psychological, moral phenomena. This is
the psychology of communities and groups, and the psychology of a person living and acting in a certain
group, and the system of its relationship with law. Therefore, most of the problems of professional
deformation of custodial settings staff of the SCES of Ukraine are connected precisely with penal
activities, since most of the working time is spent in special conditions of service, and therefore it must be
solved by the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine, as the successor of the SCES of Ukraine only in the
aggregate of its legal and psychological and pedagogical support.
In the process of professionalization, the custodial settings staff of the SCES of Ukraine
acquires not only specific skills, but also accepts values, views, rules of conduct characteristic of carriers,
distinguishing them from the rest of society into a certain corporate group. Gradually, professional
activity more and more absorbs the personality of custodial settings staff, and therefore over time there
comes a moment of non-return, when the person is no longer able to separate himself from the profession,
the view of the world is carried out exclusively through its prism, and identifying with it becomes one of
the most important steps in the process of self-determination of the person.
The above makes it possible to draw the following conclusions: first, the professional
deformation of custodial settings staff of the SCES of Ukraine is interdependent with working conditions
in the penitentiary system. Secondly, in order to prevent this negative phenomenon, it is necessary to
annually improve the systems of training, education and advanced training, to form a sense of security,
confidence in the usefulness and fairness of their work.
