Abstract:
To determine the current state of counteraction to this negative phenomenon, the authors conducted a comparative
study of the norms of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan of 1997 and the Criminal
Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan of 2014. The study object is the effectiveness of countering extremist
crime based on the analysis of official statistics for the period 2015–2019. The study subject is the signs of
extremist crimes. On the basis of the analysis of trends and amendments made to the Criminal Code of the
Republic of Kazakhstan aimed at countering criminal extremist structures, the necessity to ensure stable criminal
law prohibitions in this area is concluded. In order to develop anti-criminal measures, it is proposed to
apply an approach based on continuous monitoring of both: criminal situation and criminal law policy trends,
building appropriate criminological models using quantitative and qualitative indicators. The significance of
the formation of a scientifically based forecast of extremism as a negative social and legal phenomenon,
which should be the basis for the planned activities, is separately indicated. It is noted that not all methods for
analyzing time series and statistical tables make it possible to ensure the necessary accuracy of the forecast
formed.
