Интеграция государства и гражданского общества в сфере профилактики молодежного экстремизма в контексте правовой социализации

Introduction: the involvement of the citizens’ associations in solving the problems of preventing extremism among young people should become an important trend in the development of partnership relations between the state and civil society. In the context of the problematics, the issues related to increasing the level of legal socialization of Russian youth are of no small importance. The purpose of the study: to characterize the activities of the state and citizens’ associations to prevent extremism among young people in the context of legal socialization. The research objectives: to assess the joint activities of the state and civil institutions engaged in the prevention of extremism among young people in the context of legal socialization; to identify the problems of legal socialization of Russian youth and suggest the ways to solve them; to justify the productivity of network crowdsourcing technologies in the joint activities of the state and civil society in the context of prevention of youth extremism. The methodological framework for this research is represented by a system of methods of scientific knowledge, which should include: general scientific, systemic, institutional and sociological methods. Results: in order to combat the manifestations of extremism among young people and successfully socialize young citizens, a complex systematic work of the state and civil society is necessary, which objectively requires the implementation of certain technologies, such as network crowdsourcing. In the paper, when determining the efficiency of this technology, the projects “Cyberdruzhina”, “MediaGuard” and “STOPTERROR” were evaluated. Conclusions: it is revealed that the network crowdsourcing technologies act as an optimal mechanism for supporting the system of prevention of youth extremism. Their widespread introduction into the Russian social space can “socialize” the system of preventing extremism among young people, provided that its most important subjects are not only the state structures, but also the constructive associations of citizens.
