Improving Mechanisms to Combat Extremism and Terrorism Among Youth
( Pp. 167-172)

Abstract: The problems of extremism and terrorism affect the interests of many modern states. In the Russian Federation, there is currently a significant increase in the interest of the population in extremist and terrorist views and ideas. This trend is relevant for young people, who react sharply to all international and domestic processes. Representatives of this category of the population are considered the most vulnerable to involvement in illegal activities of the above-mentioned direction, since they are characterized by a certain psycho-emotional instability and ideological immaturity. The purpose of the present study is to analyze modern mechanisms for combating extremism and terrorism among young people, identify existing problems and identify the most promising areas for their solution and the corresponding improvement of anti-extremist and counter-terrorism activities. The author comes to the conclusion that despite the close attention on the part of the state to the organization and implementation of anti-extremist and counter-terrorism activities against young people, the measures taken do not demonstrate the necessary effectiveness. It is noted the need to improve the existing mechanisms for combating these illegal phenomena and their spread among young people in terms of expanding the subjects of anti-extremist and counter-terrorism activities, developing the forms and methods of combating extremism and terrorism used in educational organizations, as well as comprehensively using the potential of the Internet for formation of anti-extremist and counter-terrorist ideology in the minds of young people. Attention is focused on the potential positive impact of the formulated proposals for improving the work being done.
