Abstract

Radicalism in some communities can result from many factors. One of them is poor understanding of religion. Religion radicalism movement in some cases can harm and threaten national stability and Republic of Indonesia Unitary State (thereafter called NKRI). Government’s firm policy is very desirable to involve all components of society in socializing the hazard of religion radicalism movement. This study was normative law research. Some constraints were found leading to the less optimum deradicalization policy in the attempt of overcoming terrorism crime in Indonesia. Many factors leading the people to follow radicalism are, among others: social discrepancy triggered with uneven economic distribution and some constraints deriving from community’s cultural aspect often alienating ex-terrorist prisoners leading some of them to revive radicalism despite rehabilitation through deradicalization program. Another constraint was that the law enforcement approach conducted still uses punitive paradigm or stringent approach, while soft approach through deradicalization policy has not been implemented optimally yet. The target of deradicalization policy is limited to prisoners and ex-prisoners only, rather than extended to the accused; defendant; convict; prisoner; ex-terrorist prisoner; or people or a group of people that have been exposed with terrorism radicalism. The synergy of many institutions and community components that should engage in deradicalization implementation has not been optimal, for example, Interior Ministry, Foreign Ministry, Ministry of National Education, Ministry of Law and Human Rights, Social Ministry, Religion Ministry, Ministry of Communication and Information, National Intelligence Agency, Indonesian Army’s Elements in regions, non-government organization, universities, religion leader, and community leader. In addition, other social approaches such as economic, education, and cultural approaches to prisoners, ex-terrorist prisoners, and family have not been implemented optimally. Viewed from formulation aspect, unorganized institution, community and stakeholder components related to deradicalization policy are also the weaknesses that should be corrected because BNPT (National Agency for Combating Terrorism) impossibly implements deradicalization policy independently.
