3. Totalitarian elements in criminal jargon

Lecture



Criminal jargon is always associated with the language existing in society, reflecting the atmosphere of a particular era. Thus, the era of totalitarianism was reflected in it. This is reflected in the fact that there is a pronounced desire for hierarchization. This, in particular, is indicated by the names of hierarchical castes in a criminal environment. "Tops" of the criminal world (original members of the Politburo) are called pleasant, sublime terms ("director", "author", "groin", "barin", etc.), but the "lower classes" are stigmatized with unintelligible, offensive terms ("Chushka", "trash", "omitted", and in the army in the system "hazing" - "spirit", "meat", "salobon", "kettle", etc.). Also formed and nicknames, as already mentioned.
Like the totalitarian language, criminal jargon is characterized by double-mindedness. After all, to "their" attitude is one, and to "alien" is another. This also includes the desire to designate criminal activity with “correct” words. Thus, the seizure of money from citizens through robbery, robbery or fraud is called “work” (“work the case”). And the exchange of money conducted by the state at meetings “thieves in law” was called “state banditry”. Doublethink in a totalitarian language is the ability to simultaneously hold opposing beliefs and feelings that beliefs are one thing, and life is another. The criminal subculture as a “different life” in society had to create its own dual language: in the official sphere, you need to speak one language, and in your community - another. The official life for the criminal is life "for fun", illusive, and criminal life is something real.
Criminal language took from the language of totalitarianism and such a feature as schematization. A person who uses criminal jargon thinks in contrasts, preferring two colors: for “friends” - white, for “strangers” - black. He does not tolerate the shades and halftones of a democratic society. Black in criminal jargon means "dark life", "covered", "zone", and white - freedom, joy, etc.
A feature of criminal jargon is the tendency to stereotyping, to a pattern. It is also manifested in the motivations of the crimes committed, in the methods of self-justification, the mechanisms of psychological defense, the characteristics of people, even “their own”.
Criminal jargon includes a lot of tinsel, unsaid: “kill” - “dunk”, Finn - “feather”, cut a person - “write”, debates of the parties in court - “bicker”, commit sexual intercourse - “mate”, “insert voucher” etc.
At present, militaristic terminology has prevailed in the criminal jargon. Recall: gangs are called brigades, detachments, crews, teams; the leaders are commanders (and in “hot” points of interethnic conflicts are “field commanders”), and the members of the gangs are “fighters”, “militants”, “infantry”, “machine gunners”, the murderers are “killers”. This process originates in the national language, where for many years social events, according to tradition since the civil war, were designated in a militaristic spirit: “battle for harvest” (and not harvesting), “student landing”, “ideological front”, “battle for the literary front, the writer is the "ideological fighter of the party," etc. It should be noted that the process of militarization of the national language in society is not diminishing, and in criminal jargon the so-called militaristic spirit comes to the fore, which is promoted by interethnic conflicts and military clashes between the “national guard” units, “self-defense”, etc.
In criminal jargon, as well as in the national language of the times of totalitarianism, the compensation mechanism is also manifested, which we mentioned when criminal activity is denoted by "correct" or neutral words: theft - "event", "purchase", "work in the countrywoman", rob - “caress”, beat - “call the doctor”, fight - “criticism”, “prime minister”, “recipe”, “registration”, “polishing”, etc.
However, with the help of criminal jargon, criminals and self-exposing, since the language is given to a person not only to hide thoughts, but also to talk about intentions, no matter how carefully he masks them. If you are in the carriage compartment, the traveling company has invited you to spend time playing cards and such words have come to your ears in the conversation between them, such as: “Krap”, “shadow”, “trimming”, “holding”, “bouquet”, “filling” cards, compiler, overlay, slip the shift, katran, grease, then immediately quit playing with them, for you have a team of cheaters playing telegraph.

Thus, criminal jargon as a specific professional language captures the criminal style of thinking of a certain social group of criminals, and above all - minors and youth. However, he exposes this style and takes revenge on society for the past and present. It is no secret that many law-abiding people also think in criminal jargon. When you consult with a friend about how to get the necessary certificate in the authority quickly, and he advises you to give some official "on the paw", then you resort, without the will, to a criminal type of thinking. This is one of the causes of criminalization through the assimilation of the criminal jargon of the entire population, and above all the younger generation.
As we have noted, criminal slang is constantly evolving. Some other words appear and disappear in it, but it still serves and will serve criminal activities and the criminal way of life of people. One of the reasons for the dynamism of criminal jargon is not only the dynamism of crime itself and the dynamism of society, but also the two-way process of penetrating individual words from the criminal jargon of young people into ordinary spoken and literary language, and, conversely, from literary and spoken language (for example, youth slang) - in the lingo. There is a process in which different linguistic streams collide: the language of bureaucrats and totalitarian adherents, the language of professional criminals of the “thieves clan”, the language of unrestrained criminals, youth slang, colloquial and literary language, local dialects, various professional languages, foreign languages, etc. P. Under these conditions, the slang words that have gone from criminal jargon to colloquial and literary language are being replaced by new ones that "secret" certain types of "declassified" or newly emerging types of criminal activity, events, phenomena, objects, etc.
Summing up, we note that the harm of criminal jargon is little taken into account in educational work with adolescents, and he teaches the personality to think in criminal categories, instills in it perverted views and beliefs, spreads an aversion to honest work, cruelty and inhumanity in relations with people, praises the criminal the way of life, the “thief of thieves”, the cult of force, arrogance, contempt for the norms and values ​​prevailing in society, morality, distorts and corrupts the legal sense of the individual.
It must be remembered that criminal jargon, like any language, is easier to digest in adolescence. This age period is called sensitive for language acquisition (favorable).Therefore, it is important to protect adolescents and young people from criminal jargon. So far this, unfortunately, is only a dream.
