On the Issue of Countering the Involvement of Young People in Extremist Groups
( Pp. 186-192)

Abstract: The purpose of this article is to reflect the methods of countering the involvement of young people in extremist groups, as well as the main risk groups that are attractive to recruiters. The work touches on certain aspects of youth involvement, causes, as well as ways. Considerable attention is paid to preventive measures, which, according to the author, should affect various segments of the population: schoolchildren, students, teachers, psychologists, parents. The emphasis is placed on the fact that at the federal level, the training of psychologists of the Department of Internal Affairs should be carried out according to the program of countering the technologies of involving the population in extremist and terrorist groups.
Conclusions: The problem of countering the involvement of young people is very acute today. The main risk group is adolescents from 14 years old and young people up to 35 years old. The wide range of techniques used by recruiters for these purposes is more than diverse: NLP, "brainwashing", gaining trust, "love attack", etc. Persons who carry out the "selection" of young people, as a rule, are professional psychologists who have undergone special training.
The methods of counteraction include targeted educational training of professional psychologists within the framework of training in educational institutions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, in order to develop psychological mechanisms for countering extremist communities.
It is necessary to work with schoolchildren, students, their parents, as well as teachers and psychologists, organize meetings, demonstrate educational films where, in clear language, simple examples explain how destructive work directed against the younger generation takes place.
In our opinion, it is necessary to carry out diagnostic procedures for the propensity to engage, as well as personal growth trainings aimed at self-acceptance by young people.
