Non Penal Policy of Terrorism Mitigation in Indonesia

Abstract

Thus far, prevention of terrorism has always been directed to penal policy that includes formulation/formulative policy, judicial/applicative policy and executive/administrative means. In fact, until now this penal policy has not indicated significant results. The penal policy only touches on the apparent symptoms on the surface, while the root of the problem (the attitude of radicalism) is never touched. Therefore, there should be another alternative to deal with the crime of terrorism that is clearly common enemy of humankind in any hemisphere. This paper tries to find other suggestion of counterterrorism other than those that have been conventionally conducted and even become the main focus in counterterrorism.
