Extremist crimes in modern society pose a serious threat to its further successful development. It is at this point of our development when the danger of this type of crimes is extremely high due to a wide range of factors on an objective basis. However, along with the demand for the study of extremism as a phenomenon from the perspective of philosophy, sociology, religious studies, etc., the dogmatic approach is equally important. Improvement of legislation in the indicated direction acts as a prerequisite for increasing the effectiveness of the fight against extremist manifestations of the radically minded part of society. In this regard, it is essential to define the categories «involvement» and «organization» as crucial in the elements of the crimes, which provide for criminal liability for the crimes of this group. The lack of clarity of both terms directly in the text of the criminal law entailed uncertainty in the emerging judicial and investigative practice, which increasingly begins to assume the regional. One of the ways to overcome this tendency might be the analysis of specific decisions made by the law enforcement officer and the development of concrete recommendations on this basis.
