Social Exclusion of Deprived Groups on the Example of the European Union

Abstract

This article discusses the social exclusion of deprived groups on the example of the countries of the European Union. It gives the statistical data of the analysis of indicators with the identification of the causes of social exclusion. The paper considers institutionalization of social exclusion in the structure of modern society in the context of the European social model. The problems of socialization and social deformation of individuals related to drug abuse, distancing the state from solving the problems at the stage of taking drugs and at the stage of remission are an important aspect of the study. In general, we can talk about a single model of exclusion of deviant groups from society. In turn, it is the application of an interdisciplinary analysis to the study of narcotism and the social exclusion of the users of narcotic drugs helps to present this model and to show the ways of its reconstruction in order to reduce public grievance, as well as to restore the identity of the drug abuser. The main theses of the work arising from the application of the theory of social exclusion to the study of socially excluded deprived groups -the drug users, can be developed and specified in further studies of groups that are excluded from society for health reasons. The results of this study contribute to the expansion of the scientific understanding of the processes of institutionalization of social exclusion, form the basis for a new theoretical and applied area of focus in the sociology of deviant behavior.
