Abstract

The article substantiates the need to adjust the program documents of coordination centers operatingat universities. The author draws attention to the importance of forming a scientific and methodological  base for coordination centers that currently operate without scientific support. The staff of the coordinationcenter, according to the Standard Regulations, includes a psychologist, however, taking into account thespecifics of the activities of the coordination center, namely, work in the field of countering the ideology ofterrorism, extremism, and other destructive ideologies, it is worth involving professional lawyers or teachersof legal disciplines in the staff, as well as criminologists. The author emphasizes that the development ofrecommendations for improving preventive work in such a specific area cannot be carried out withoutthe participation of competent specialists, who are often not included in the staff of coordination centers.Without a detailed study of the audience, preventive measures are reduced to formalism and a pile ofmeaningless reporting.Also, as the author points out, adjustments are required to the annually approved standard electronicpassport of the coordination center's work. Typical provisions include the organization of advanced trainingcourses in the field of prevention of terrorism and extremism, interethnic and interfaith conflicts, andthe same preventive measures, however, this is not enough for a holistic system. It is necessary to specifyactivities and strengthen regional specificity in the work of coordination centers in order to fully unleashtheir significant criminological potential. And for this, first of all, it is necessary to attract young people,cultivate activists under the auspices of coordination centers, and form them into public opinion leaders inthe university and the region.
