Abstract

Narcotics smuggling as a form of transnational crime poses a serious threat in border regions, particularly in the Riau Islands Province, which has a strategic position and high geographical vulnerability. This study aims to analyze the prevention efforts carried out by the National Narcotics Agency of the Riau Islands Province. The research employs a descriptive qualitative method with a case study approach, using in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation, analyzed through an interactive model. The findings indicate that prevention is implemented through primary, secondary, and tertiary strategies supported by inter-agency collaboration and community participation. This study contributes to strengthening community-based prevention approaches and cross-border cooperation. In conclusion, the effectiveness of prevention is influenced by geographical, social, and institutional factors, highlighting the need for strengthening resources and further longitudinal-based research.

Abstract

Transnational crime refers to criminal activities that involve multiple actors and span across more than one country. Such crimes violate the legal regulations and territorial jurisdictions of each affected state. One of the most common forms of transnational crime occurring within the jurisdiction of the National Narcotics Agency of the Riau Islands Province (BNNP Kepulauan Riau) is drug smuggling. This drug smuggling is driven by various factors, one of which is the geographical location and condition of Batam City, which consists of numerous small islands and several ports that facilitate smuggling activities. This study aims to analyze the causal factors, operational patterns, and criminological characteristics of transnational narcotics smuggling activities occurring between Riau Islands and Malaysia. The study applies subjective utility (rational choice) theory to explain how offenders rationally evaluate economic benefits, operational risks, and opportunities for successful smuggling before engaging in transnational narcotics trafficking. The findings reveal that economic incentives, weak maritime supervision, and the strategic geographical position of Batam significantly encourage organized transnational narcotics smuggling networks, thereby reinforcing the importance of integrated cross-border law enforcement and maritime surveillance policies.

Abstract

The handling procedures carried out by the Civil Service Police Unit (Satpol PP) of Pekanbaru City toward school students who skip classes outside school during study hours are reflected in data from a raid in October 2025, which netted 31 students from various secondary schools in Pekanbaru City. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method, where data were collected through in-depth interviews with 11 informants consisting of Satpol PP officers, guidance and counseling teachers, vice principals, students caught in the raid, and community figures. Data analysis applies the crime prevention strategy theory of Tonry and Farrington (1995), which divides prevention into three levels: primary, secondary, and tertiary. The results show that Satpol PP has implemented handling procedures based on Regional Regulation Number 13 of 2021, including intelligence monitoring, field security operations, data collection, in-office counseling, summoning parents, and handing students back to schools using a persuasive and humane approach. However, several weaknesses were identified, including a weak field verification mechanism that led to some innocent students being caught in the raid, minimal effective coordination between Satpol PP and schools, suboptimal primary and secondary prevention due to a predominantly reactive approach, and deterrent effects that are not yet fully sustainable. Schools, in contrast, have proven more effective in prevention through digital attendance systems, routine counseling, and daily communication with parents. This study recommends strengthening inter-agency coordination, improving field verification procedures, and developing more structured and sustainable primary prevention programs.
