Abstract (English):
Introduction. The article considers the involvement of minors in terrorist activities as one of the most pressing threats to the national security of the Russian Federation. The importance of studying this issue in the context of growing terrorist activity and an increase in the number of adolescents involved in committing crimes is substantiated. The need to apply a systematic approach to the analysis of the involvement of minors in terrorist activities is emphasized. It is indicated that this phenomenon is a structural element of the mechanism for committing terrorist crimes. Methods. The methodological basis of the study, the results of which are reflected in the article, consisted of dialectical, formal-legal, logical-legal, and comparative-legal methods, which ensured the study of legal structures of normative regulation of counteracting the involvement of minors in terrorist activities. Results. The data obtained during the study allowed us to formulate the author's definition of the concept of «involvement of a minor in terrorist activity», to substantiate the expediency of its theoretical and legal specification in the context of solving and investigating crimes, and to identify forensic features of involving minors in terrorist activity as an independent form of criminal activity. A conclusion was made about the need to strengthen interagency cooperation as an element of a private methodology for investigating terrorist crimes committed by minors.
