Forensic-linguistic and religious expertise in the investigation of crimes committed by members of youth informal groups (associations) of extremist orientation

Abstract

The article explores the unique challenges of conducting forensic-linguistic and religious expertise during the investigation of crimes committed by members of youth informal groups (associations) with extremist leanings. It outlines the specific investigative practices for these types of crimes. The research aims to analyze forensic-linguistic and religious expertise in investigating crimes perpetrated by members of these groups.

The importance of these types of expertise is underscored by the rising number of extremism cases among young people, which necessitates innovative identification and prevention methods. Linguistic analysis can reveal underlying meanings and manipulative language tools, crucial for effective crime investigation and maintaining justice and societal safety. As extremist crimes often transcend international borders, it is vital to develop adaptable research methods for different cultural and social contexts.

The study employs scientific methods such as observation, analysis, synthesis, comparison, generalization, and extrapolation. It reviews scientific literature on youth groups, anti-extremism, crime investigation, forensics, and religious studies, alongside examining investigation materials from crimes committed by youth extremist groups.

Promising avenues for future research include analyzing forensic examinations conducted during the investigation of crimes committed by youth informal groups with extremist orientations. This could enhance understanding and provide better strategies for tackling extremism in various contexts.
