Unlicensed Mining is a criminal act. In the realm of law enforcement, it is very closely related to the social and economic problems of the poor people around mining areas, thus creating a dilemma for law enforcement officers in processing unlicensed mining cases. The research method used was juridical-normative. The presence of PETI has an impact on the loss of state treasury revenues, environmental damage, mining accidents, an unfavorable investment climate, and waste of mineral resources.
