Abstract

The purpose of the study. The article analyzes the criminalistic characteristics of terrorism: concepts; types; structure of terrorist threats; classification of terrorists; ways, methods and algorithms of countering terrorism. Conclusions. The high public danger of terrorism is very much due to its close connection (on the one hand, in matters of recruitment, recruiting and motivation of new members of organizations, and on the other, in the field of interests of influence through a fairly wide range of types of terrorist threats and attacks) with socio-political, spiritual (including religious, national-ethnic), economic and other significant spheres of life of society and the state. Manifestations of terrorism, in addition to the negative consequences themselves, cause a great public outcry, manifested in an increase in the level of anxiety in security matters, a decrease in the level of trust in the authorities and faith in the effectiveness, efficiency and effectiveness of the actions of law enforcement agencies and specialized special services. The improvement of methods and means for the prevention and investigation of terrorist crimes is one of the main goals of modern criminology. The development of effective measures to combat terrorism is positively facilitated by forensic knowledge of: factors contributing to its spread; objects, objects and methods of criminal encroachment; methods of concealing the preparation and circumstances of the implementation of the criminal activity under study; characteristics of its participants; mechanisms of trace formation in places of preparation and direct implementation of terrorist activities.
