Current directions of improving administrative and legal methods of countering extremism in modern conditions

Extremism is a big problem in the public life of citizens. The Decree of the President of the Russian Federation laid down the main directions of countering extremism. However, in the modern world, in which computing technologies and computer equipment are constantly developing and improving, a wide range of opportunities for communication between each other opens up for citizens who are prone to illegal behavior, including for calling for certain kinds of illegal actions. Thus, examining the administrative and legal mechanism of countering extremism, it should be noted that the subjects of counteraction are various state authorities, the key place among which is occupied by internal affairs bodies. Federal Law No. 3-FZ of February 7, 2011 "On the Police" imposed on the police a duty that is expressed in the prevention, detection and suppression of extremist activities of public associations, religious and other organizations, as well as citizens. Preventive work on countering extremism should be carried out at the level of formation of both individual and collective consciousness among various categories of the population, a negative attitude to acts of terror. Work in this direction should be an activity aimed at forming a belief in the unacceptability of these actions in society, non-recognition of such behavior in society, tolerant and humane attitude towards others.
