Abstract

The article is aimed at further improving the legal support of law enforcement activities of internal affairs bodies in the field of countering extremism. The subject of the study is the norms of administrative legislation regulating public relations in the field of administrative supervision of the police and judicial control in the field of countering administrative offenses of extremist orientation in the telecommunications network "Internet", as well as materials of judicial practice and law enforcement activities of police officers. The work uses a set of general scientific methods of cognition, such as dialectical, hermeneutical and systematic approach. Private scientific methods were used, such as formal legal and statistical research methods. В The authors consider in detail the problem of optimizing counteraction to extremism in the process of administrative supervision of the police, as well as as a result of judicial control over the resolution of cases of administrative offenses of extremist orientation identified during the implementation of state supervision in the field of communications, information technology and mass communications. The characteristic mistakes of law enforcement are revealed, consisting in the excessive application of administrative coercion measures to persons brought to administrative responsibility for extremism. The authors come to the conclusion that it is necessary to change the approach in the perception of the concept of "extremism" in the telecommunications sphere as a phenomenon of "extreme" radical behavior. The ways of improving legislation and law enforcement activities in this area are proposed.
