High Technologies in Countering Extremist and Terrorist Crimes
( Pp. 128-132)

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to study the possibilities of countering extremist and terrorist crimes with the help of high-tech achievements.
At the moment, criminal acts classified as terrorism or extremism are actively committed using information technology, and the Internet is becoming a kind of field of activity. This fact is due to the constant shift of a large number of activities and processes to a virtual format, since cyberspace plays an increasingly important role in modern society.
It is established that the use of telecommunication functions and mechanisms in the commission of crimes allows you to take advantage of a whole range of advantages. First of all, it becomes more difficult to identify the criminal due to the fact that the geographical factor ceases to be significant in the search for the offender. In addition, information resources are characterized by openness, they are accessible to most Internet users, due to which any of them can engage in criminal activity. For the same reason, the activities of criminal associations are becoming more effective: it is easier to search for accomplices via the Internet, attract new members of the group, distribute illegal data, propagandize and perform other illegal actions. In addition, even the active activity of law enforcement agencies associated with the local blocking of extremist materials on the web does not allow them to be fully covered. The high level of accessibility of information platforms where extremist materials are published makes it easier for criminals to find new supporters, recruit them and work to attract funding for their projects.
It is concluded that at the moment the existing mechanisms of countering terrorism and extremism are no longer sufficiently effective, which is due to the transfer of a significant part of the processes in society to an online format. Only the improvement of measures to counter these crimes and an integrated approach to the development of ways to prevent the implementation of such activities will allow us to demonstrate significant changes in the fight against criminal associations, as well as reduce the chances of the latter achieving their goals.
