The prevention of crimes motivated by hatred and enmity is a global problem due to the processes of globalization and the development of information technology. Of particular importance is the consideration and in-depth comprehensive analysis of various approaches to understanding such a negative social phenomenon as extremism. Special attention should be paid to that part of “extremism” that is associated with the commission of criminal acts based on any hatred or enmity. It is worth noting that it is in the criminal qualification of these acts that the most serious problems are associated with the application of measures to counter extremism in practice. Actions to combat extremism should include comprehensive measures to prevent and combat it. The main reason for the enthusiasm of certain individuals for extremist ideas is not the existence of relevant literature or the activities of extremist organizations - these phenomena only find favorable soil in the minds, sufficiently processed by the negative socio-economic state of society, which cannot be corrected only by legal methods with a suppressive bias.
