KFU explained how to deal with the risk of deviant behavior

Fighting deviant behavior through general notations and one-off conversations is useless. This was stated on the air of the TV channel “Crimea 24” believes the Director of the Coordination Center of the Vernadsky KFU, associate professor, Candidate of Law, Honored Lawyer of the Republic of Crimea Elena Gubanova.

According to the lawyer, criminological science separates the conditions and causes of deviant behavior. In the modern world, external conditions are especially prone to dangerous actions, but each has its own underlying reasons.

Therefore, it is necessary to work with individual factors: to study the family, upbringing and environment of a particular person.

Gubanov calls subjective interaction the key approach. If you perceive a young person solely as an object of management, there will be no result. The main thing is to give him an alternative and show him what is worth living for.

“Life has to be filled with something else,” she said.

As proof of the effectiveness of this approach, the lawyer cited a real story from practice. The student, who had suicidal thoughts, was helped to cope with the crisis in time: his life has improved and is in order.

Work with youth and prevention of dangerous phenomena is one of the activities of the Coordination Center of KFU. In September 2026, Gubanova announced the key role of traditional values in countering terrorism and extremism.

At the time, she noted that today significant attention is paid to young people in the education system, but problems may arise for older people, whose life guidelines were formed under the influence of other programs and attitudes.

Gubanova also stressed the need for a deep study of the history and practical implementation of the provisions of the presidential decree, which enshrines the basic traditional values of Russian society.
