This criminological analysis identifies embezzler traits and suggests prevention methods, indicating their importance in combating financial crime.
This article analyzes the personal, social, and biological characteristics of individuals who commit embezzlement, within the framework of a criminological study. Drawing on sociological research conducted in the 1920s and contemporary criminological approaches, the article identifies key characteristics of embezzlers: professional offenders with a high level of education and detailed knowledge of industrial processes, as well as individuals who commit crimes under the influence of adverse life circumstances, such as financial difficulties or other personal hardships. Considerable attention is paid to psychological characteristics, including hereditary predispositions to alcoholism, psychopathic traits, temperament, and motivation. The analysis demonstrates that most embezzlers possess a high level of intelligence; however, personality traits such as instability, suggestibility, and egoism contribute to the commission of crimes. A significant aspect of the study concerns the influence of external factors. The article examines modern preventive methods, including systematic employee training, automated control systems, and biosocial assessments, which make it possible to develop individual criminal profiles and targeted preventive measures. The findings emphasize the need for a comprehensive approach based on criminological, psychological, and social data to effectively combat corruption-related crime in modern society.
