Abstract

The article brings to attention the key elements that define terrorism, but also the main types of terrorist activities that are common today, the use of violence or the threat of violence, political, ideological or social goals, the intentional targeting of the civilian population, the unpredictability and unjustified nature of the violence, the creation of panic and fear for political purposes. Trends characteristic of modern terrorist organizations are identified, for example, the active use of information and psychological measures, the geographical extension of the spread of terrorism, the increase in the level of terrorist organization (the creation of global and regional terrorist centers), which should be taken into account at the initial stage of an investigation.
