The article analyzes the structure and functions
of the sense of justice as
a form of social consciousness. It is noted that the formation of the structure
of consciousness is associated with three functions:
cognitive, regulative and
communicative. If all the functions of consciousness
appear in the individual
at an acceptable level, then,
without a doubt, the sense of justice will be normal
and it will be diffi cult to expect from such a person behavior
contrary to the laws
of morality. In the case of insuffi cient development or violation of any function
of
consciousness, a favorable ground is created for the emergence of criminal
consciousness.
