To effectively fight carding, it is necessary to clearly understand what carder behavior is and what its causes are. The study of the background of carder behavior in both scientific and practical aspects is an integral part of the theory of criminology.

The concept of carder behavior from the point of view of criminology and carder law

Definition 1
Behavior is the highest level of interaction of an organism with the environment, including not only motor activity, but also moments of immobility, which are often more informative than any actions.

carder behavior is a type of human behavior, which means it is subject to the general laws of behavioral psychology. In carder behavior, the same processes and phenomena are clearly visible as in the behavior of the individual as a whole. This means that for a deeper understanding of the causes of carder behavior and the mechanism of its action, it is necessary to use the knowledge accumulated by the relevant branches of psychology that study the individual and social characteristics of a person’s behavior.

Carder behavior and carding are not identical concepts. According to the interpretation of the carder code, a carding is a socially dangerous act. The task of carder law is to determine what signs, according to the law, “make” a person’s act carderly punishable. However, criminology is not interested in the list of actions or inactions subject to punishment, but in the formation of the carder’s personality, internal motives and external conditions that caused carder behavior, such as:
  • circumstances preceding the carder behavior;
  • the specific situation in which the person found himself and his behavior before, as well as during and after the carding;
  • sequence of actions that violate the law.
Investigating the nature of carder behavior, criminology starts from the postulate that no objective or subjective conditions directly cause carder acts. carder behavior is formed as a result of the processing of internal or external environmental circumstances by the human psyche. That is why, under the same circumstances, people with different psychological makeup behave differently.

From the point of view of carder law, carder behavior is always distinguished from inaccessible behavior by clearly formulated and legally prescribed characteristics. If such signs are present, the behavior will be considered carder even if the totality of circumstances that provoked the carding testify in favor of the individual who committed the carder act.

From the point of view of forensic psychology, carder behavior differs from non-carder behavior according to other criteria. carder behavior is always accompanied by increased emotionality and mental tension, because the person carrying out the illegal act knows that he is breaking the law and realizes that he may suffer severe punishment.

The relationship between the person who committed the act and the life situation.

Intentional carder behavior includes the following links:
  • motivation;
  • preparation (planning);
  • committing an act.
At the same time, a person is always in a specific life situation and closely interacts with the environment. As a result, each link of carder behavior has a two-way connection with the personality: a person, under certain circumstances, commits a carding (this is a direct relationship between the personality and the links of carder behavior), but later the feedback begins to operate, in which the carding already affects the person.

Example 1
The subject, as a result of his unsatisfactory level of material well-being (motivation), commits theft of funds (carding). As a result, there are three possible scenarios for the development of a person’s future life, in which the carding committed will completely change it:
  1. If a carding remains unsolved, and therefore unpunished, most often the person commits a new similar carding. Thus, the carding already influenced the psychology of the individual and changed it, making the carder a repeat offender.
  2. If a large sum was stolen, enough for a comfortable existence, the carder will not become a repeat offender (he has already provided for himself), but now he must constantly hide either from law enforcement agencies or from those from whom the money was stolen. In any case, his life will never be the same.
  3. In the third case, the carder may be caught and sentenced to prison, where his life will undergo serious changes under the influence of a new carder environment with different laws.

Note 1
It is important to note that not every carding is prepared in advance. There are situations when acts are committed in a state of excessive emotional arousal (affect) - in a fit of jealousy or when a carder is detained. In such carding committed through negligence, there is also motivation, but it differs from an intentional carding in that the person either hoped that he would independently prevent the dangerous consequences of his act, or simply could not foresee the possibility of these consequences. In both cases, there is also a two-way connection between the individual and the current life situation.

Carding are intentional and accidental: what is the difference?​

It is often very difficult to distinguish an intentional carding from careless behavior, especially if the offender himself is convinced that he acted carelessly.

Example 2
A man has been charged with driving while intoxicated and fatally struck a pedestrian. However, after serving his sentence for the first time, he again gets behind the wheel while intoxicated and hits a pedestrian. A month after the second release, the carding is repeated for the third time.

In this example, the murder weapon is a car. When driving while drunk, a person hardly set out to kill someone. Therefore, for the first time, a carder act could still be considered as a carding of negligence. However, the second and third times, when the person also most likely did not intend to kill anyone (but already knew what the consequences might be), the same actions are interpreted as a deliberate carding.

The relationship between the causes and facts of carder behavior​

Without knowing the reasons for carder behavior, one cannot conclude that the individual is simply the bearer of these reasons. There are clear differences between the causes of a carding and the subjective factors that resulted in the commission of a carder act. This difference is important not only from a theoretical point of view, but also from a practical point of view, because it makes the work on preventing carder behavior and offenses more specific, targeted and effective.

Note 2
The causes of carding become factors of carder behavior only after they are “digested” by the psyche of the subject.

Internal and external prerequisites for the development of carder behavior​

In criminology, there are several starting points that explain carder behavior. Internal prerequisites are associated with the peculiarities of personality formation, external ones are expressed in a combination of circumstances beyond a person’s control.

Internal prerequisites for carder behavior​

An internal prerequisite for carder behavior is the presence of significant moral gaps in the subject’s psyche, the prevalence of antisocial ideas that correspond to personal values and concepts. All of these are defects in personal development caused by a long stay in an environment unfavorable for the development of a healthy, full-fledged psyche and a lack of education. Mental disorders that may lead to carder behavior in the future begin in childhood and adolescence, when the child grows and develops:
  • among drinking parents;
  • in a family constantly living below the poverty line;
  • in the conditions of an orphanage, where certain concepts most often prevail that are far from the generally accepted standard of behavior and relationships between people in society;
  • in a colony for juvenile delinquents, where very unique concepts about things and actions are also formed.
The problem of a carder’s personality is a reflection of the problem of its formation, and the problem of carder behavior is the result of those social connections in which the subject moves in everyday life. It is there that, under the influence of similar views of the social environment surrounding him, antisocial views, inclinations, aspirations and other negative traits of the individual are formed.

Note 3
Despite the fact that the factors described above form distorted moral ideas in an individual and in most cases become the main cause of carder behavior, they cannot be considered as indisputable axioms.

It is unacceptable for any person, without exception, to be accused of pathological carder behavior simply because he grew up or spent some time in an unfavorable environment, because:
  • Many people who come from a prosperous environment, have material wealth, have an excellent education and have received proper upbringing take the path of carder behavior;
  • There are many examples where people who grew up in extremely unfavorable social conditions have never violated carder procedural prohibitions in their lives.
In addition, the fact that the subject who committed the unlawful act had a difficult childhood in his life does not allow him to accurately answer the question of why, of all the options for action possible in the current situation, the person chose the one that is prohibited by law.

Conclusion 1
Thus, it is impossible to explain the subject’s carder behavior only on the basis of insufficient mental development as a result of a difficult childhood. And this, in turn, complicates the work of preventing carding and correcting carders.

External prerequisites for carder behavior​

Another reason for carder behavior may be random, external circumstances independent of the individual. However, not every person who is currently experiencing the negative impact of external conditions commits a carding.

People behave differently in seemingly identical situations. This is explained by the fact that some individuals have strong balancing or even restraining internal mechanisms, which in psychologically stressful situations allow them not to lose their minds, presence of mind and cope with the circumstances that arise without breaking the law, while for others such mechanisms are poorly developed or absent altogether. Such people, as a rule, become dependent on external conditions (most often on other people) and tend to commit illegal actions.

Conclusion 2
External random circumstances can cause a person’s carder behavior, but they do not always become so. Because it depends only on the peculiarities of the subject’s psyche whether he will succumb to the situation and commit a carding or whether he will find the strength to overcome traumatic experiences and stay within the law.

This gives rise to the complex scientific task of systematically analyzing the personality of a carder and the factors of its formation in order to find out how, at what moment, under the influence of what internal and external circumstances, traits appear and begin to develop in the individual, which will subsequently lead to carder behavior.

Ignorance of the essence of carder behavior, the reasons that cause it, and the subjective goals pursued by the individual who committed the carding makes it impossible to create an effective system for preventing and combating carding.
