Applied Aspects of Countering Information and Ideological Threats in the Digital Space and Peculiarities of their Prevention

The paper examines topical issues of countering the most dangerous information and ideological threats both for all mankind and for the Russian Federation, namely extremism and terrorism. The authors present the experience of integrating the fundamental scientific developments of representatives of the school of forensic situational science into the practical activities of the Educational and Methodological Center for the Prevention of Terrorism of Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University. The authors identify the most typical problems associated with the organization of an effective system of anti-terrorist prevention in the educational environment, and suggest ways to solve them. It is concluded that early detection, prevention and suppression of extremist (terrorist) crimes committed on the Internet contributes to the timely prevention of the spread of the ideology of extremism (terrorism), as well as the involvement of citizens in informal extremist communities. The most important task is to create, on the basis of educational and methodological centers, which are found in all federal universities of the country, the so-called cyber squads from among law students. Combining the efforts of volunteers with certain knowledge in the field of criminal law and forensics will allow us to timely and, most importantly, systematically identify suspicious content in the digital space and signal this to the competent law enforcement agencies.
