Abstract

This study aims to analyze the discursive construction of the sense of safety through power/knowledge relations in the crime control policies of Indonesia’s Coordinating Ministry for Political and Security Affairs. The study employs a qualitative approach using Michel Foucault’s Critical Discourse Analysis. The data consist of the Ministry’s Performance Reports, crime statistics published by the Indonesian National Police, and survey indicators issued by Statistics Indonesia (BPS). The analysis is conducted through archaeological and genealogical approaches to examine how the sense of safety is constituted both as an object of knowledge and as an instrument of governmentality. The findings demonstrate that the sense of safety indicator functions not merely as a measurement tool but also as a discursive construct that legitimizes public policy and produces a regime of truth. Consequently, crime control policy operates as a mechanism of power/knowledge that shapes the ways in which the state governs the population while simultaneously influencing public understandings of security.

Abstract

This study examines the changing role of community organisations in Indonesia, where their rapid growth has been accompanied by affiliations with organised thuggery. Drawing on Michel Foucault's poststructuralist perspective, organised thuggery is understood not as an objective social pathology but as a discursive construct produced through power/knowledge relations. This study explores how the state constructs community organisations affiliated with organised thuggery as objects of security intervention through governmentality. Using a qualitative approach, the research applies Foucauldian Discourse Analysis (FDA) to analyse state regulations, government policy documents, and police telegrams issued between 2024 and 2026. The findings show that the state establishes a regime of truth by classifying community organisations into "normal" and "deviant" categories, framing intimidation, extortion, and violence as threats to public order and the investment climate. This strategy is institutionalised through the Integrated Task Force established under the Coordinating Minister for Political and Security Affairs Decree No. 61 of 2025, integrating cross-sectoral coordination, administrative oversight, law enforcement, and organisational guidance. The study concludes that controlling organised thuggery relies not only on repression but also on administrative knowledge that legitimises state intervention and normalises organisational behaviour to maintain security, public order, and a sustainable investment climate
