Drug abuse in Indonesia has become a serious problem that can harm various layers of society. This research explores policies to combat drug-related crimes using an integrated approach, which includes both penal and non-penal measures. The urgency of this research lies in the need for the implementation of penal and non-penal policies in combating drug-related crimes. The discussion includes penal policies referred to as efforts to combat crime through criminal law regulations, which emphasize a repressive nature. Meanwhile, non-penal policies delve into the root causes of crime, focusing more on a preventive nature. The conclusion shows that effective policies must involve collaboration between penal and non-penal policies to achieve the protection and welfare of society, thereby addressing drug-related crimes.
