Abstract

Deradicalizing high-risk terrorism inmates is a multifaceted and paradoxical challenge that has not been comprehensively addressed in criminological studies. This research seeks to fill the gaps in previous studies by focusing on the security challenges, personnel difficulties, and prison culture dynamics within super-maximum security facilities in their efforts to deradicalize terrorism inmates. The findings highlight three critical aspects of this complexity. First, the security measures in super-maximum security facilities emphasize the strict implementation of a one-inmate-per-cell system, which minimizes inmate interactions, adheres to high-security standards, and utilizes advanced technological systems. Second, correctional officers face significant challenges, including verbal confrontations from inmates, the harsh environmental conditions of Nusakambangan Island, the need for strong mental resilience, limited human resources, and constraints in the execution of interagency programs for deradicalization. Third, the prison culture of terrorism inmates in Nusakambangan’s super-maximum security facilities is characterized by radicalism dissemination patterns, inmate categorization, deterrent experiences, recidivism in radical behavior, and the daily habits of inmates within their cells. This study highlights the importance of future research that evaluates and compares deradicalization processes across various correctional facilities in Indonesia, with the goal of developing a more comprehensive understanding of this critical issue.

Abstract

This study analyses the Indonesian public’s response to government data breaches and advocates for an expanded defintion of nonformal reactions to crime in the digital context. It argues that existing criminological frameworks, particularly Mustofa’s (2021) model—which views nonformal reactions as active and confrontational behaviours such as demonstrations or vigilantism—should also acknowledge inaction, apathy, and emotional disengagement as valid public reactions. This paper employs a conceptual-qualitative approach, combining an interdisciplinary literature review, interpretive policy analysis of the Personal Data Protection Law, and triangulation with digital behaviour data to develop its analysis. This paper reframes apathy as a significant criminological indicator of institutional breakdown and democratic erosion, rather than a mere absence of action. By incorporating passive reactions into the notion of nonformal reactions to crime, this research enhances the analytical framework for Indonesian criminology in the context of cybercrime victimisation. Recognising inaction as a form of reaction is crucial for assessing civic trust, ensuring state accountability, and advancing a secure digital culture. The study advocates for an evolution of criminological theory to maintain its relevance in the changing landscape of harm within a hyper-connected society.

Abstract

The Indonesian National Police (Polri) are facing a sustained crisis of legitimacy amid increasing public distrust, digital activism, and intensified external oversight. While reform has been repeatedly promised since the post-authoritarian transition, institutional change remains fragmented and largely symbolic. This article examines Polri’s reform trajectory through a criminological lens, drawing on theories of social solidarity (Durkheim), procedural justice (Tyler), and the sociology of professions (Abbott) to analyze the interaction between external pressures and internal organizational dysfunctions. Using theory-driven qualitative analysis of corruption cases, recruitment controversies, and public trust surveys, the study argues that Polri’s legitimacy crisis is rooted not only in individual misconduct but in structural patterns of patronage, over-centralization, and incomplete professionalization. This study contributes to Indonesian criminology by explaining police reform as an institutional legitimacy problem rather than individual misconduct. It concludes that sustainable reform requires merit-based recruitment, strengthened external oversight, decentralization of authority, and the integration of cognitive–emotional competencies into police professionalization.

Abstract

Abstract. The increasing incidence of violence against children in daycare institutions reflects a structural crisis in contemporary child protection systems. This study examines the violence case at Little Aresha Daycare in Yogyakarta to identify the criminogenic factors underlying abuse in institutional childcare settings. The research applies a normative-empirical qualitative method through media-based case studies, legal analysis, and criminological interpretation. The findings demonstrate that violence emerged from the convergence of three major factors: structural strain experienced by caregivers, weak capable guardianship within daycare institutions, and the normalization of abusive disciplinary practices. Robert K. Merton’s Strain Theory explains how economic and occupational pressures generated frustration among caregivers, while Cohen and Felson’s Routine Activity Theory highlights how inadequate supervision and monitoring systems created opportunities for repeated abuse. The study further argues that daycare violence constitutes a form of institutional violence rooted in broader socio-economic transformations that compel families to rely on insufficiently regulated childcare institutions. The discussion emphasizes that weak state oversight and the commercialization of childcare services contribute significantly to the persistence of violence against children. This article concludes that strengthening child protection requires stricter daycare regulations, mandatory psychological screening for caregivers, integrated surveillance mechanisms, and child-centered restorative interventions. The study contributes to criminological discourse on institutional violence and child victimization in Indonesia.
Beyond Extremism: Rethinking Anarchism in Contemporary Indonesian Security Discourse through Anarchist Criminology Asmara, I Gusti Ngurah Aditia Tjandra

Abstract

This article examines how contemporary Indonesian security discourse increasingly frames anarchism through the categories of radicalism, extremism, and national security threats. Responding to the emergence of academic and security-oriented narratives that position anarchism as a form of anti-state extremism, this article asks how anarchism is represented and securitized within contemporary Indonesian criminological and security discourse. Using a qualitative critical-discourse analysis approach, this article draws upon perspectives from Anarchist Criminology and Cultural Criminology to examine the construction of anarchism within contemporary Indonesian security narratives. The findings demonstrate that anarchism is frequently reduced into a simplified and homogeneous category of extremism through state-centric and Western-centric security frameworks, particularly by linking anarchism to dominant genealogies of modern terrorism. Furthermore, activities such as digital activism, alternative media production, mutual aid practices, and anti-authoritarian political expression are often represented through narratives of deviance, agitation, radicalization, and propaganda. This article argues that such representations contribute to the criminalization of political dissent by expanding the logic of securitization into the realms of youth subculture, digital activism, and alternative politics. Rather than understanding anarchism solely as a security threat, this article concludes that anarchism should be situated within its broader historical and political context as a diverse anti-authoritarian tradition that cannot be simplistically reduced to extremism.
Criminalizing Environmental Defenders in Indonesia’s Extractive Development: A Green Criminology Perspective Muhammad, Raihan

Abstract

This article examines how extractive development in Indonesia contributes to the criminalization of environmental defenders from a green criminology perspective. The study departs from the growing trend of intimidation, criminalization, violence, and legal retaliation experienced by communities resisting environmentally destructive projects in mining, coastal reclamation, plantation expansion, and National Strategic Projects (PSN). Using a qualitative socio-legal approach, this research analyzes statutory regulations, policy instruments, court decisions, academic literature, civil society reports, and documented cases related to environmental conflicts and environmental defenders in Indonesia. Data were collected through a literature review and document analysis, then analyzed using qualitative content analysis within the frameworks of green criminology, ecological victimization, and state-corporate crime. The findings show that criminalization against environmental defenders cannot be understood merely as isolated legal incidents or technical problems in law enforcement. Rather, it reflects broader structural relations linking extractive governance, state-corporate interests, developmental agendas, and coercive legal mechanisms. Criminal law increasingly functions not only as an instrument of punishment but also as a mechanism for disciplining resistance and narrowing civic participation within environmental conflicts. The study further demonstrates that environmental defenders frequently experience layered forms of victimization, including ecological degradation, economic insecurity, intimidation, legal retaliation, and social marginalization. This article argues that environmental harm and criminalization are deeply interconnected within Indonesia’s extractive development model. The findings highlight the importance of expanding criminological discussions beyond formal legal definitions of crime by addressing ecological harm, unequal power relations, and structural violence embedded within extractive development.
Methamphetamine Trafficking in Indonesia: A Routine Activity and Situational Crime Prevention Perspectives Makarim, M Fadli

Abstract

Abstract. Methamphetamine trafficking represents one of the most significant forms of transnational organised crime affecting Indonesia and appears to be facilitated by Indonesia’s strategic position within global maritime trade networks. Existing explanations have emphasised law enforcement capacity and policy responses, while less attention has been given to the opportunity structures that may facilitate trafficking activities. This study examines how Routine Activity Theory may contribute to explaining methamphetamine trafficking in Indonesia and considers its implications for Situational Crime Prevention. This study employed a structured literature review based on a systematic semantic search of publications indexed in Semantic Scholar and OpenAlex. The retrieved studies were screened using predefined eligibility criteria, and the selected literature was analysed thematically to identify patterns relating to opportunity structures, guardianship deficiencies, and situational prevention strategies within the Indonesian maritime context. The findings suggest that methamphetamine trafficking in Indonesia reflects the outcome of opportunity convergence embedded within globalised maritime trade systems and fragmented maritime guardianship. Containerised shipping networks, dense maritime trade flows, and weakly monitored coastal entry points appear to create opportunity structures that organised trafficking networks may exploit. The analysis further indicated that interventions aimed at increasing effort, increasing risk, reducing rewards, and anticipating displacement may disrupt trafficking opportunities, although their effectiveness is likely to be constrained by structural realities of maritime trade and fragmented maritime governance. Overall, the study contributes to applying Routine Activity Theory to Indonesia’s maritime context while highlighting the potential and limitations of Situational Crime Prevention in addressing transnational methamphetamine trafficking.

Abstract

This study sets out to reconstruct the history and structural repression that followed the 1965–1966 events in Indonesia—events that have long been reduced to a simple “horizontal conflict” between ordinary citizens. Using a socio-historical method, the study examines a wide range of historical literature and documents in order to reframe this violence as a State Crime, seen through the lenses of Critical Criminology and Decolonial Criminology. The findings show that the New Order regime borrowed the tools of subjugation first developed in the colonial era to crush progressive groups—a project that, in essence, served the interests of global capitalism during the Cold War. The mass killings became possible because violence had been normalized, a process that produced the phenomenon of the Banality of Evil within the state apparatus and the civilian militias. This repression then turned into long-term suffering, a condition this study calls “delayed rehabilitation.” The state created a kind of “civil death” for survivors: it stigmatized them through identity documents (the ET/OT codes), practiced institutional racism against ethnic Chinese citizens, and unilaterally stripped thousands of people of their citizenship, producing a generation of political exiles. The study concludes that the instruments of the state remain trapped in a politics of impunity. Transitional justice must move beyond the rhetoric of material compensation toward authentic truth-telling, the removal of stigma, and the full restoration of victims’ civil rights. The study also argues for a paradigm shift in Indonesian criminology—away from a Eurocentric bias and toward the analysis of postcolonial structural crime. It contributes to the development of postcolonial criminology in Indonesia by showing that a proper analysis of structural crime requires an epistemological shift: from the Eurocentric bias of conventional criminology toward a decolonial framework that treats the legacy of imperialism and colonial violence as a structural variable that cannot be ignored. Finally, the concept of “delayed rehabilitation” offered here is meant to enrich the discussion of transitional justice, both within Indonesia and in comparison with other cases of postcolonial state crime across the Global South.
