Features of organization and functioning of web-sites on AUE , their role in developing sociopathic and unlawful attitudes in adolescents and youth by A. A. Glukhova, D. A. Shpilev

“…Methods: dialectical approach to the cognition of social phenomena, allowing to analyze them in the historical development and functioning in the context of a set of objective and subjective factors, which determined the choice of the following research methods: formal-logical, comparative-legal, sociological methods.Results: using intent-analysis of more than six thousand extracts from the sites dedicated to AUE in “VKontakte” social network, the author identified five main methods used by the moderators: 1) substitution of traditional values with the criminal world ideology; 2) promotion of sociopathic attitudes; 3) forcing the user to register on the site; 4) promotion of aggressive behavior; 5) development of persistent ironic, negative attitude towards representatives of the law-enforcement system. …”
