The study of the psychological structure of the personality is impossible without the study of the individual characteristics of individual mental processes, and, if necessary, of pathological changes in the psyche.

The combination of accentuation of character and temperament can contribute to the formation of specific personality types that have their criminal specifics, determined by the direction of the corresponding potential of the personality. The features of personality accentuation, characteristic for the studied types of violent criminals, are revealed. Conclusions.

Among violent criminals who have not been diagnosed with any mental disorders, only 6.8% do not have any personality accentuation. In general, this type of criminals is dominated by accentuation of hyperthymic (17.8%), epileptoid (15.4%), unstable (12.7%), mixed (8.9%), hysteroid (8.5%), schizoid (7.5%) types and other. For 8.9% of violent criminals, a mixed type of personality accentuation is characteristic.
