The ideology of violence is legally declared as one of the signs of modern terrorism; therefore, it is necessary to have a successful preventive action at this level. Ideology is the basis for meaningful and meaningful activity of the subjects of society. Ideology has defended and destroyed whole worlds in the history of mankind and is a systemic category that must be studied. The presented article highlights the general features of the ideology of terrorism inherent in reflecting the worldview and way of life from the standpoint of violence and threats: The dogma of exclusivity, the only true path. Ideological fanaticism and lack of critical thinking. Extreme intolerance to other people's values. Creation and cultivation of the image of the "enemy". Radical views and extremist ways of expressing them. Irrational perception of reality. Absolute belief in the adequacy of the goal. Because of the study, it is concluded that a fertile ground for the formation of extremism is a marginal environment, since it is in this environment that young people with unsteady views and undecided in life meet. Extremism also develops in systems with a weak regulatory framework, where the population is illegal. A low level of self-esteem in society and ignorance of individual rights also leads to the development of extremism. Extremism is characteristic of people with a low cultural level. Extremism develops in communities where the ideology of violence is promoted, indiscriminate in the means to achieve the goal.
