Abstract
The correction and resocialization of the convicted person are considered processes of positive changes that occur in his most personality and create readiness for self-directed obedient behavior, as well as the return of the convicted person to an independent and generally accepted social and normative life in society, that is, the successful reintegration into society after release and deprivation of a criminal worldview. This remains one of the most important issues debated by scholars to determine the best way to achieve the goals of corrections and rehabilitation of ex-offenders. In addition, resocialization is of fundamental importance for solving a wide range of social and socio-practical problems, not only for the prevention and eradication of crime but also for the prevention of social deviance in general. Since the reintegration of criminals into society is an urgent social problem, a detailed analysis of the process of resocialization of criminals is of practical importance. The methodological basis of the research was the dialectical, historical, analysis and synthesis, structural-functional, classification and grouping, logical-semantic, comparative-legal, and hermeneutic methods. The purpose of this article is the study of the concept and essence of the legal concept of resocialization, the study of the means of correction and resocialization of convicted persons, the analysis of the experience of foreign countries in the field of resocialization of convicts, the analysis of the priority directions of the Ukrainian social policy on resocialization of persons, and the outline of the ways to improve the state of resocialization of convicted persons in Ukraine.
