Abstract

This study examines family financial resilience as a crime prevention strategy from the perspective of Islamic family law, focusing on Koto Baru and Hamparan Rawang Districts in Sungai Penuh, Indonesia. Using a qualitative case-study design, the research integrates Islamic family law, family resilience theory, and criminological perspectives on crime prevention. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with a family head, religious leader, village official, and community police officer (Bhabinkamtibmas), supported by field observations and documentary analysis. The findings show that financial resilience strengthens family stability and the capacity to manage domestic pressures. Economic instability emerged as the most persistent source of family pressure, affecting household organization, decision-making, and conflict management. Families with limited financial capacity were more vulnerable to prolonged conflict and required stronger religious and community support. Religious leaders and community police officers prioritized non-penal interventions through religious guidance, mediation, and family assistance before formal legal measures. The findings indicate that religious commitment alone is insufficient to prevent family conflict without adequate financial and social capacity. The study concludes that family financial resilience can function as a preventive mechanism when reinforced by religious guidance, community mediation, and responsive community policing. The study contributes a transdisciplinary framework linking family financial resilience, Islamic family law, and crime prevention, with implications for family empowerment, religious counseling, and community-based crime prevention.
