This article examines the family and social factors influencing the formation of corrupt behavior from a criminological perspective. Particular attention is paid to family upbringing, value systems, the level of social control, peer group influence, and public attitudes toward corruption. The mechanisms of corrupt behavior formation are analyzed through the lenses of Differential Association Theory, Social Learning Theory, and Social Control Theory. Drawing on international experience and empirical research findings, the study proposes preventive measures aimed at reducing corruption and strengthening integrity-based social norms.
