The study is based on the data of a students’ sociological survey the attitude to destructive practices. The influence of factors – agents of socialization – as family, classmates, social networks on involvement in destructive practices is proved. The authors using cluster analysis, attempted to determine the "risk group" among students based on the following indicators: level of communication and control in the family, level of communication and integration in the student group, level of communication and involvement in social networks. It is concluded that the degree of involvement in the space of virtual destructions differs significantly depending on the level of student’s involvement in destructive practices. Respondents from the “risk group” more often demonstrated a low level of communication and control in the family, more often noted the involvement of close friends in destructive practices, poor integration and communication in student groups, spending much time on social networks more often encountering destructive content there, in general have a high level of social isolation, manifesting in certain circumstances in hidden destructive aggression both against oneself and against others.
