The concept and types of legitimate behavior have not always been considered particularly carefully. The fact is that jurists have always paid more attention to illegal behavior. In principle, deviation from the norms should in fact be better studied more thoroughly than their observance.
Behavior in jurisprudence can be expressed verbally, inaction or action. In philosophy, for example, it is also associated with the mental activity of man. The right acts only on activities directed by the individual outside.
Regarding law, behavior can be not only unlawful or lawful, but also neutral. Such behavior does not cause any consequences and is not regulated in any way.
The right applies to absolutely all areas of our lives. Unlawful and lawful behavior are legally significant species. In their totality, they represent legal behavior.
Lawful behavior has two sides. Of course, we are talking about the objective and subjective. The first is related to the human behavior itself , the result, the connection, the reasons. In this case, we are talking about positive elements. Negative refers to misconduct.
The subjective side, which has a legitimate behavior, is associated with the intellectual-volitional attitude of the subject to the act that he committed or is committing, as well as to the consequences of this act. Guilt - the mental attitude of the person to the deed.
Types of lawful behavior are mainly associated with the motivation of the subject. The first case may include actions (or inaction), which are based on awareness of the need, the desire to comply with certain legal norms, understanding the importance of the onset of a positive result. In this case, we are talking about the fact that the subject consciously refers to his behavior, as well as to the currently existing rules of law.
His other appearance is associated with conformism. The point is that the subject obeys certain rules only because "it is so." Such legal behavior can often be observed in social groups, the legal culture of which is underdeveloped, and legal awareness is at a low level.
The legitimate behavior of the subject can also be caused by the fact that he is simply afraid of certain sanctions by the state. This species is recognized as the most unreliable. This is due to the fact that in case of loss of control by the state, the subject of law will change his behavior from lawful to unlawful.
Division into species is possible on the objective side. In this case, legitimate behavior may be desirable and socially acceptable.
The latter may include, for example, divorce.
The mechanism of legal behavior consists of three subsystems that are interconnected. It's about legal, social and psychological. All of them in aggregate are parties to one mechanism of legal behavior.
The action of the legal mechanism is associated with the installation, using legal means, of certain social statuses intended for subjects. It is also associated with the formation of a specific social structure.
Legal will be effective only when the subjects of law begin to understand their legal status, understand how they are affected by the relevant norms. Also, they must learn to build behaviors based on established standards.
The psychological mechanism helps people to realize the full significance of the law. Social is based on the fact that each such environment needs an individual approach. The methods used in the legal education of social groups are always different.
