“…During this period, ordinary social life continues, which does not cause much suspicion. When studying the specific features of crimes against life, it is worth distinguishing the terms "serial" and "impulsive" murder because the activity of serial killers is defined by a break of one week with a minimum number of victims, it is planned and has a clear purpose; impulsive murder occurs in a state of affect and the influence of a sudden stimulus, which the psyche of the killer took for a hostile gesture, then there is confusion in the investigation because the tools with which the blows were inflicted may differ (Daniszewska, 2017).…”

In the conditions of war, the problem of maintaining a comfortable psychological climate in professional teams and society in general is acutely felt because Ukrainians are in a depressed psychological state. Conflicts among people of different ages are also escalating, as representatives of the baby boomer generation are gradually being replaced by Generation Y, and therefore most Ukrainian companies are teams of representatives of Generations X and Y. The purpose of this study is to find ways to overcome the problem of conflict between different generations. Among the key scientific methods of this study is M. Rokeach's model, which was used to rank the terminal and instrumental values of representatives of Ukrainian generations X and Y, and the method of canonical correlations, used for comparative analysis of the value structure of the analysed generations. The main results of the study indicate that the aggravation of relations and the emergence of misunderstandings among Ukrainians is a consequence not only of the influence of war, but also of the conflict of the most economically active generations -X and Y. This conflict is caused by differences in the perception of life (i.e., in values), a large difference in the socio-political conditions of formation and belonging to different archetypes of generations according to the Strauss-Howe generational theory. Ukrainian generation X is a recessive generation of "nomads", while generation Y is a dominant generation of "heroes". The results of a comparative analysis of the dominant terminal and instrumental values of these generations indicated that 50% of the dominant values are common terminal and only 33% are common instrumental. It was found that the Ukrainian Generation X has more post-materialistic values, while Generation Y prefers materialistic values, which was a consequence of socio-political events in Ukraine, under which these generations were formed. The practical significance of the results obtained lies in the fact that the proposed recommendations for overcoming the conflict of Ukrainian Generations X and Y by factoring in the most important values for each of these generations will help not only to overcome the conflict of generations, but also to increase the effectiveness of their interaction

The relevance of the study is conditioned upon the elevated level of crime and scientific interest in determining the prerequisites for murders that are individual in nature, develop into a series of hidden intentions and have complex consequences for the life of society. Clarifying the psychological causes of serious crimes is important for preventive work in the defined area. The purpose of this study was to determine the personality traits of murderers, to identify the prerequisites for the formation of criminal behaviour, to investigate the classification and rating of serial crimes by cruelty and methods, to analyse statistical data on the commission of murders. In the study of the nature of serial murders, the following methods were used: the method of analysis and synthesis, the biographical method, the statistical method, and the generalization method. Using theoretical analysis, the psychological root causes of homicide drives, their main features and methods of implementation, and gender characteristics regarding the strength of committing a crime were identified; the data obtained were confirmed by real statistical indicators. The study highlighted the problem of increasing criminal cases caused by the mental state of the individual. The features of the psychology of the killer were covered, and the influence of childhood and life circumstances on the formation of the internal urge to commit murder was substantiated. The factors that encourage violence were identified. The types of serial killers were identified, and the “handwriting” of crime execution was analysed. The essence of impulsive and serial murder was delineated, and the concept of moral statistics as a provocative factor in committing a crime was covered. A psychological portrait of a serial killer was formed. Features of early research at the level of physiology and genetics were established. The presented theoretical material not only serves as an informational resource but can also be used in carrying out preventive measures related to early education, the methods of which have a preventive and correctional impact.
