Police preventive social mechanisms against terrorism

The purpose of the social preventive mechanisms of the police is to prevent the tendency of individuals to terrorism and the emergence of a new generation of terrorist forces. In fact, facilitating the promotion and justification of extremist ideas among individuals has led to a greater transition from terrorist thought to terrorist action. Therefore, mechanisms should be envisaged with more oversight to prevent access to terrorist information and ideas. Meanwhile, the interaction between the police and civil-religious society is very important in rejecting extremist ideas that lead to violence and terrorism, as their greater sensitivity can prevent the promotion and influence of those ideas and, consequently, terrorist action.

The present study has been done in terms of collecting information by documentary method and by studying international documents, reliable sources, related articles and the obtained information has been analyzed descriptively-analytically.

Our findings include adopt appropriate mechanisms to promote further cooperation between counter-terrorism officials, the need to educate and raise public awareness about terrorist threats, allocate a hotline for reporting terrorist crimes, establish a dedicated counter-terrorism structure, and train police officers in the fight against terrorism.

A set of socially preventive mechanisms by the police affect the personality, mindset of individuals and pre-crime situations to prevent the emergence and promotion of extremist ideas that can lead to terrorist acts.
