Sociocultural determination and prevention of the students’ extremist behavior

the article presents a critical analysis of existing approaches to the study of socio-cultural factors that determine the extremist behavior of students. The key socio-cultural factors contributing to the radicalization of youth have been identified. Various forms and classifications of youth extremism are considered in the context of Russian and foreign studies. It is shown that the vulnerability of young people to the effects of extremist ideas is associated with their increased susceptibility to social and political changes, as well as with an active search for their own identity. The protest behavior of young people acts as a form of deviant behavior.
