Measures Used by the Internal Affairs to Counter Youth Extremism in Educational Environment
( Pp. 228-232)

Abstract: Many state authorities are fighting manifestations of extremism. However, the main powers within the framework of this activity are assigned to the internal affairs bodies. Despite the effectiveness of the process of identifying, suppressing and investigating illegal acts of an extremist orientation, this phenomenon is actively developing and transforming in Russian society. Among the current trends in the spread of extremist ideology, one should single out the significant interest of certain categories of the population in the corresponding illegal ideas and views. The involvement of young people in the above processes is the most pronounced. The purpose of the present study is to analyze the measures taken by the internal affairs bodies to counter youth extremism in the educational environment. The author comes to the conclusion that educational organizations are an important platform for the organization and implementation of complex anti-extremist activities in relation to youth, including through interaction with internal affairs bodies. Attention is focused on the fact that by now there are many ways of joint activities of internal affairs bodies and educational organizations in order to combat the spread of extremist activities among young people. The need for close contact between the above-mentioned subjects of anti-extremist activities is noted, including in order to take into account the specifics of youth groups in specific educational institutions in the process of organizing and holding joint events. Recommendations on the interaction of internal affairs bodies with educational organizations are formulated and the prospects for using specific forms and methods of anti-extremist activities are determined, which can be used to improve the efficiency of the relevant work.
