Abstract

Theprison facilityis generally considered as an environment with a corrective purpose. Besides the social sense of remedy, prison is also an environment that potentially determines and affects socially dangerous behavior. The authors, based on long-term empirical research, present the significant indicators that are directly related to the transformation of personality attitudes, motivations and behavior associating with a process of radicalization. One of the most significant symptoms of radicalization is a particular social and moral decision making. Individuals in the radicalism process primarily prefer utilitarian manners in their decision-making rather than personal aspects like empathy for others. The authors will present the method of social-moral profiling of a subject in radicalization process as an effective prevention system which reduces security risks in society.
