Development of repeated violent crime into an independent type of recidivism is based on a specific characteristic of the subject of the crime - commission of a crime for which the criminal was subject to the measures of state influence.

The category of persons subjected to the study includes the convicts serving their second sentence in prison. Using specially developed programs the author conducted gathering, summarizing and analysis of information taken from the personal files of 13 850 convicts (13 659 men and 191 women), as well as a questionnaire survey of 953 convicts (800 men and 153 women), and the analysis of the acquired data.
