Social nature of spatial and temporal connections

The world of a person is, in extremely wide terms, the world of life and consciousness. In the paradigm of dialectical materialist worldview, traditionally, significant attention is paid to space and time. Extensive literature is dedicated to the given attributes of matter. Knowledge about space and time, for many millennia of the given phenomena existence, were constantly extended. Claimed by consciousness and by the world of public existence, they were developing as knowledge about the measure for the motion of the objective (the material), being improved in the system of metric indices. Space and time seem to have great value that in the world of adherences and values ofpersonality. They are not reduced to the empirical size of "climatic" and "geographical" conditions of existence, to "areas" and "hectares", to "place" and "time", "address" and "hours", to "date of birth" and "date of death", etc. Similar "quantitative emphasis" by no means entirely reflects the progressive cognitive motion of consciousness and the embodiment of knowledge results in the world of human existence. Connection of space and time with consciousness and existence, limited by boundaries of the metric system, does not reveal scale and capacity of the human relations essence. Overcoming and filling, derivatives of space and time, dimensional and temporary connections and relations, socially and personally significant content, are accessible only in the mode of objective and subjective, social and personal interaction. Both the objective and the subjective exist and are developed according to their law-principles. Only personal attitude converts the objective world, space and time into the actually significant for the subject (individual and collective) values. Therefore space and time, at the level of human existence, are received by consciousness, first of all, as social-personal space and social-personal time. We assume that it is justified to understand social-personal space as the quantity and quality of events, which integrate/ disintegrate social-objective activity of the society, categories, social layers and groups, up to an individual per unit of time. Social-personal time is the quantity and quality of publicly and personally significant events per unit of time, i.e., events, which directly influence objective and subjective conditions of human existence, preserve the balanced, customary rhythm, otherwise, but certainly positively, modify and order them or, on the contrary, partly disorder the world of priorities and values. Transfer of knowledge about social space and social time into the field of scientific criminological knowledge, into the sphere of crime investigation seems to be an objectively necessary and regular consequence of knowledge expansion about the personality and, correspondingly, about the personality of a criminal.
