Juridical
psychology is
integral science that cover both field of the
juridical work and field of the human personality and interaction of
people,
because adaptation of legal regulations and human's interaction with
each other in fact are indissoluble connected in
most situations.
Unfortunately many persons turn attention to juridical psychology
rather
little. It seems that in several countries the heritage
of soviet regime is one reason of such
situation –
dictatorial and hypocritical nomenclature of the soviet system didn't
want the situation when people could understand the
law-governed nature of social development, state administration and
legal regulation. In
time of the soviet regime only high schools of police (militia) had
developed the juridical psychology for their aims.
However the understanding on inferences of the juridical psychology is
very important both for lawyers and officials of state institutions in
solution of any professional duty because they must secure legal
interests of
society and all individuals, on whom their work applies.
It's useful also for any person without special duties and
knowledge to know inferences of the juridical psychology because it
helps to
protect their interests also in private field.
