Abstract

This article examines how mediated visibility reconfigures police oversight and accountability in Indonesia by treating reality police shows as an empirical arena. This study uses a qualitative–analytical design integrating semi-structured interviews with key institutional actors (Indonesian National Police/POLRI, media practitioners, and broadcast regulators), observational analysis of televised police representations and the digital recirculation, and document analysis of relevant governance and communication frameworks. The findings show that formal oversight mechanisms within Polri and state-based supervisory arrangements tend to operate reactively and with temporal delay when faced with fast-moving, visually driven public scrutiny. In this gap, media platforms, through televised programs and fragmented online circulation, function as a dominant informal overseer that shapes public judgments through visibility management, framing, and affective resonance. These dynamics generate an asymmetrical layered accountability regime, in which symbolic accountability formed in the media arena frequently precedes and constrains the operation of formal accountability processes. The article further identifies a condition of dual accountability that produces a structural dilemma for the Public Relations Division of POLRI (Divhumas), which must uphold law-based procedural legitimacy while simultaneously responding to media-generated demands for symbolic legitimacy. Limited post-production evaluation, weak coordination across the production cycle, and crisis-oriented communication approaches shift meaning-making power toward media actors and audiences, increasing institutional vulnerability to representational distortion. The article contributes to Police Science by conceptualizing accountability as a cross-arena governance process and by outlining policy implications for strategic visibility management, preventive representational oversight, and early-warning monitoring of legitimacy risk under conditions of mediated policing.

Abstract

The problem of counterterrorism in Indonesia continues to evolve, including institutional challenges and coordination effectiveness, terrorism funding, implementation of deradicalization efforts, and the political dimension of terrorism. It is important to discuss this phenomenon through a criminological approach that emphasizes the sociological paradigm. Previous studies have limitations in explaining social construction, institutional challenges, and offering Peacemaking Criminology approach in a more comprehensive and efficient counterterrorism effort in Indonesia. This research was conducted using a qualitative approach through thematic analysis of literature review on 57 previous studies. This research found four important findings. First, there are limited preventive detention clauses and communal or sectarian violence in Indonesia. Second, terrorism financing comes in various forms, poor coordination, and no comprehensive approach involving relevant stakeholders. Third, the complexity of efforts to deradicalize terrorism prisoners in correctional institutions. Fourth, the uncertainty in determining the status of terrorism due to political considerations. Peacemaking Criminology approach in this research offers a new solution to counter terrorism in Indonesia by targeting the root of radicalization through emancipative community development and discussing institutional challenges and ways to overcome them.
