The Role of Government and Society in Preventing Narcotics Crime in Indonesia

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the role of government and society in preventing narcotics crimes in Indonesia, as well as evaluating the effectiveness of policies and programs that have been implemented. The narcotics problem in Indonesia continues to increase, posing a serious threat to health, security and social development. The government has implemented various prevention and enforcement policies, including through legislation, rehabilitation programs and eradication operations. On the other hand, the role of the community, such as participation in socialization, anti-narcotics education, and environmental monitoring, is also very important in supporting these efforts. Using qualitative descriptive research methods, this research collects data from literature, interviews and observations to evaluate the extent of the role of each party in narcotics prevention efforts. The research results show that synergy between government and society still faces several challenges, including limited resources and a lack of effective coordination. However, the active role of the community through education and monitoring at the local level has been proven to help strengthen government efforts to prevent narcotics abuse. In conclusion, preventing narcotics crimes will be more effective with more intensive and integrated collaboration between the government and society. Recommendations in this research include increasing anti-narcotics education, supporting rehabilitation programs, and strengthening collaboration between the government and society to create a narcotics-free Indonesia.
