Summary/Abstract: Owing to their characteristics recidivists are a very heterogeneous category of delinquents. It is possible, however, to make up various classifications and typology of the recidivists depending on the starting criteria, needs and aims of the classification. The most widely spread one is the" classification of the recidivists into the following three categories: occasional delinquents, tendency delinquents and the professional delinquents. Occasional delinquents are persons socially incapable of adjusting themselves and who, by repeating criminal acts, gradually get accustomed to criminal behaviour. Tendency delinquets show tendency and habits to act criminally just the same as the occasional ones do, but their criminal tendency is caused tendency is caused by endogenous factors. Professional delinquents are those persons who perform their crminal activity in the form of craft, as their regular profession. In addition to this classification of recidivists there are the other ones made on the basis of empiric researches.
