An analysis of the current situation and the prospects for the development of this threat. How to protect educational institutions from attacks involving toxic chemicals. read in full

Dear visitors of the website.
We inform you, that the initial text of this page has been written in the other language and has been translated to English by means of technical translation. We apologize in advance if the meaning of some words and sentences will be transmitted incorrectly due to the low-quality translation. We constantly work and do our best to improve the quality of the translation. Thank you for your understanding.
The main website and its auxiliary resources were created as an electronic platform for bringing together and facilitating communication between people involved in or interested in issues of public order, security, and the prevention and combating of crime and terrorism. We focus on those who are not concerned with discussing problems and finding culprits, but rather with studying existing threats and predicting potential ones, and most importantly, with finding practical solutions to prevent and suppress them.
One of the main tasks of the portal is to give such people the opportunity to make themselves known, to present their developments and promising ideas, to provide them with a platform for posting articles, projects, and other publications, for discussions, debates, professional communication, organizing joint work, etc. All communication is conducted exclusively within the framework of professional topics, without discussion of politics, economics, or everyday issues.
Another, equally important goal is to restore the «information bridge» with colleagues from other countries. These ties began to actively deteriorate in 2013 and are now almost completely severed. The reason is banal — politics, or more precisely, disputes on political topics in discussions, which almost instantly took the communication out of the civilized channel and reduced it to personal attacks, rudeness, and insults. This once again confirms the rule, the violation of which has already ruined more than one professional resource: where politics begins, there is no room for constructiveness and professionalism. Therefore, the Public Order and Safety portal will be completely apolitical. Any topics, even those indirectly related to politics, will be strictly prohibited. There will be no exceptions, and moderation in this area will be particularly strict. We are confident that over time this will allow us to at least partially restore ties with our colleagues from other countries and return communication to a civilized level within the framework of professional topics and the exchange of experience.
We invite all like-minded people to participate in the development of the portal. It does not matter what country you are from, what gender or age you are, or whether you have scientific works or academic degrees. The only thing that matters is your interest in the subject matter of the projects and your desire to contribute to the fight against crime and terrorism in the world. If you have such a desire, we are happy to welcome you to our team.
Editor-in-chief of the portal.
NEW DISCUSSIONS:
last updated: October 16, 2026
A series of articles devoted to a new type of threat to the security of educational and childcare institutions. International extremist online communities that incite teenagers to commit suicide, mass murder, and other particularly serious crimes («Red Dolphin», «764», «Columbine», «NLM», etc.).
The complete series of articles (a total of 6 publications are planned, to be posted as new articles are released) contains a description and analysis of the current situation, an assessment of the associated risks, and a forecast of how the situation may develop in the future. Next, based on the analysis, we will move on to finding a solution and developing an effective strategy to contain, prevent, and counter this threat.
Two publications have been released so far:
рart 1
рart 2
рart 3
рart 4
Author’s Note:
Dear Colleagues! As you are well aware, the threat described here is real; it is growing, and it is doing so very rapidly. We are faced with a complex applied criminological challenge, but despite its complexity, it can be solved—especially if we tackle it through joint efforts. I invite everyone interested in this area of applied criminology to collaborate on developing an applied strategy for preventing and combating this threat, practical and effective measures for deterrence and counteraction, and strategic forecasting of its possible development.
More details on key areas for research and development are provided in the concluding section of the first part of the article.
All of the author’s contact information is listed on his personal page on the portal.
