Introduction: the problem of preventing extremism among minors, which has not lost its current relevance, deserves special attention. It is quite specific; it concerns the prospects of the future generation. Among other tasks that the Prosecutor’s Office faces, the prevention of juvenile delinquency, including of extremist orientation, is particularly important. Not only the state and trends of crime of extremism in the future, but also the moral climate in Russian society, largely depend on how this task is solved with the help of the prosecutor’s supervision. The purpose of the study: to identify and characterize the priority areas for improving the activities of the Prosecutor’s office of the Russian Federation in the context of preventing crimes of extremism among minors. The objectives of the study: to identify and describe the problems of the prosecutor’s supervision for the prevention of crimes of extremism among minors; to assess the coordination activities of the law enforcement agencies to combat youth extremism; to develop recommendations for improving the prosecutor’s supervision in the field of preventing crimes of extremism among minors. The methodological framework for the study is represented by a system of methods of scientific knowledge, which should include: the general scientific, systemic, institutional and comparative legal ones. Results: the main problems in the activities of the prosecutor’s office for the prevention of extremist juvenile delinquency are identified, which the authors of the paper refer to: formalism; the lack of an individual approach to preventive work; the problems of interdepartmental interaction. The authors point out the need to improve the legal regulation of the prosecutor’s status as a coordinator and one of the key subjects of the prevention of offenses of extremism. Conclusions: to increase the efficiency of the prosecutor’s supervision in the field of preventing crimes of extremism among minors, it is advisable: to introduce the innovative methods and technologies for influencing juvenile offenders involved in extremist activities (for example, mediation); to improve the mechanism of interaction of all subjects of the system of prevention of juvenile crimes; not formal, but thorough the supervision of the activities of the supervised subjects of prevention and others; to create the specialized units in the structure of the Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation and the Prosecutor’s offices of the subjects of the Russian Federation, which could combine all areas of the prosecutor’s supervision over compliance with the legislation on juvenile affairs, including countering extremist activities of minors; to improve the level of professional training and qualification of young employees of the prosecutor’s office, determining the efficiency of the prosecutor’s office, based on the indicators of the real restoration of the rights and freedoms of citizens.
