Model for Coaching Terrorist Convicts in Increasing Legal Awareness Based on Progressive Law

Prisoners in cases of criminal acts of terrorism in correctional institutions (prisons) do not receive maximum legal awareness or national and state awareness. Guidance is carried out only to relieve obligations for correctional guardians, community counselors and other related agencies. This training does not have much influence on legal awareness programs national and state awareness for terrorist prisoners, so many still do not recognize the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia. The aim of this research is to analyze the ideal model for developing terrorist prisoners in Indonesian Correctional Institutions in realizing progressive-based legal awareness. The research methodology uses a sociolegal approach which emphasizes the social phenomena that occur. The social phenomena in question are the principles and thoughts of terrorist prisoners and guidance officers related to the implementation of punishment and the guidance process carried out in prisons. The findings show that the development of legal awareness, national and state awareness by correctional guardians, community counselors, and Densus 88 Polri is not running using a planned and structured program. Coaching is only carried out based on the experience of the actors, so the impact produced by the coaching is not very successful in the program. The coaching program is to create a coaching model with prisons as the coaching center by involving the Ministry, non-governmental organizations and other stakeholders.

Self-compassion as a factor in the deradicalisation of extremist offenders

The present study investigates the role of self-compassion in generating change amongst violent extremists through a study of terrorist prisoners in Indonesia. The aim is to provide insights into the under-explored role of self-transformation and agency in the deradicalisation process by applying Neff’s concept of self-compassion, which comprises psychological processes of self-kindness, perceptions of common humanity, and mindfulness. The study draws on qualitative data derived from interviews with three terrorist inmates incarcerated in Porong Prison, Indonesia. All three participants were at the time of the interview participating in a deradicalisation program implemented in the prison. Interview data indicate that the components of self-compassion play a role in self-change reported by terrorist inmates. This included the expression of remorse, seeking God's forgiveness, the acceptance of consequences and human frailty, and the ability to not linger or fixate on negative thoughts and past decisions and actions. The results of this study indicate that self-compassion is a potentially important element in the deradicalisation process, and that the development of self-compassion is an additional method by which interventions can assist the process of desistance from violent extremism.

Breeding terrorism: an anomie’s anatomy of the terrorism in Indonesia

This article investigates the emergence of terrorism in Indonesia through the anomie sociological perspective. The data for this analysis was gathered from various sources, including documents of terrorist attacks in Indonesia from the internet, personal diaries, and interviews with terrorist prisoners. The anomie theory provides a means of analysis to illuminate the understanding of terrorism, its roots, and causes. From the anomie perspective, terrorism is not viewed as a savage group that allows the killing of innocent people nor a political party that wants to destroy and seize the secular government or Western countries. In the Indonesian context, terrorism is just seen as deviant groups or individuals resulted from global capitalism that destroys the equilibrium of the Muslim world. The anomie consists of two distinct forms: the terrorist attacks and the anomic interpretation of the Islamic holy text (Quran and Sunnah). Both conditions result in a threat to the government that they consider as infidel and aligned with the West. The anomie theory provides more promising remedies to abolish terrorism more permanently and to reduce the tensions between the government and the terrorists by proposing social integration and restoring equilibrium in the Muslim world, especially in Indonesia, as a focus for implementing these remedies.

Legal Efforts of Class I Bandar Lampung Penitentiary in Implementing Early Detection as an Effort to Prevent the Spread of Radicalism Ideology in Correctional Facilities

The problem in this study is: what are the inhibiting factors of Lembaga Pemasyarakatan Kelas I Bandar Lampung’s efforts in carrying out early detection as an effort to prevent the spread of radicalism in prisons? And how are the efforts of Lembaga Pemasyarakatan Kelas I Bandar Lampung in carrying out early detection as an effort to prevent the spread of radicalism inside? The research method is a normative and empirical juridical approach using secondary and primary data. Secondary data are obtained through literature studies, and primary data are obtained through field studies through observation and interviews. Then data analysis is carried out through qualitative legal analysis. The results of the study reveal factors inhibiting the efforts of Lembaga Pemasyarakatan Kelas I Bandar Lampung in carrying out early detection as an effort to prevent the spread of radicalism in residential block areas, including UU no 5 of 2018 concerning the Eradication of Criminal Acts of Terrorism. In practice, it has not been seen to have a real effect on preventing the spread of radicalism. Then the factor of prison officers finding it difficult to detect these radical ideas completely, the factor of facilities and infrastructure for handling radicalism crimes, is the lack of maximum supporting facilities, especially the improvement of facilities and infrastructure for fostering terrorism. The efforts of Lembaga Pemasyarakatan kelas I Bandar Lampung in carrying out early detection as an effort to prevent the spread of radicalism include forming a special unit, namely the Civil Service for terrorist prisoners, and forming a special guidance, namely the Pancasila Clinic, as a space for all prisoners without exception to learn national insight from the understanding of Pancasila, Bhinneka Tunggal Ika, UUD 1945, and NKRI. The suggestion that can be put forward is that Bandar Lampung Class I Prison should always improve facilities and infrastructure related to the special development of terrorism prisoners, where so far all prisoners have been equated in terms of coaching.

DE-RADICALIZATION AND GUIDANCE FOR CRIMINAL ACTS OF TERRORISM IN INDONESIA


 
 
 Deradicalization is an effort to reduce radical activities and neutralize radical understanding for someone who is involved with terrorists and their sympathizers and community members who are exposed to radical terrorist understandings. These efforts to transform from radical beliefs or ideologies to non-radical ones with multi and interdisciplinary approaches for people who are affected by radical beliefs. However, in this case the de-radicalization program against terrorism has not been effective due to several things such as the non-optimal implementation of existing development standards, community culture that is sometimes still relatively difficult to accept ex- terrorists after they leave prison, as well as non-cooperative prisoners. In this case, the handling of Terrorism Crimes committed by the government can be divided into two fields, inside the Penitentiary and outside the Penitentiary. The legal approach method based on Law Number 15 of 2003 concerning Eradication of Terrorism Crimes has not optimally reduced the potential for violence against acts of terrorism because it tends to display the use of weapons. This research was conducted using an empirical legal research method that combines descriptive qualitative and quantitative methods. The nature of this research is descriptive research (describing) analysis. With the efforts to deradicalize and foster terrorism, it is hoped that there will be cooperation between terrorist prisoners and the government to provide information on the existence of the terrorism network.
 
 

Analysis of Development of Deradicalization of Terrorist Prisoners in the Correctional Institutions in Indonesia

Terrorism is a problem that requires special handling, one of which is by fostering deradicalization. In Indonesia according to data obtained that de-radicalization is considered unsuccessful because there are still many terrorists who dare to commit acts of terrorism even though many other terrorists have been arrested. One of the indications is like the North Sumatra Poltabes office bombing incident in November 2019 where the Police arrested 74 suspected terrorists involved in the suicide bombing. This study aims to determine the various activities carried out for deradicalisation guidance and to see the achievements of deradicalization coaching .The research method used is descriptive qualitative research method with literature study approach. The results show that various activities have been carried out by the government one of them is create BNPT a special institution to manage and implement deradicalization of terorrism prisoners through soft approach to deradicalize terrorist prisoners by reshaping their thinking about the struggle against religion. The conclusion is that the development of deradicalization of terrorist prisoners in Indonesia has been carried out by various parties, but based on the results of this study and previous research is still not optimal so it needs to be reviewed about the type or method of fostering deradicalization that is appropriate.

Truth-Claim Shift: Philosophical Studies on Former Terrorism Inmate in Indonesia

This study explores a gradual shift of thought on truth claim hold by former terrorist inmates (known in Indonesia as ex-napiter). Itis based on data interviews with three ex-napiter, namely, Yusuf, a former jihadist in Southeast Asia who was accused of storing explosives and planning a bombing at Sri Rejeki brothel in Semarang; Wawan, who was charged due to his involvement in Bali Bombing 2 and hiding terrorist kingpin; and Mamo, a former member of Negara Islam Indonesia (Indonesian Islamic State) and an expert on assembling firearms. The study shows that the ex-napiter gradually changed their perspective on truth claim in four stages.First is the conflict period, where they cannot accept other truths except their own. Second is the independent period, which occurs when they have been caught by the police but have not yet accepted another truth. Third is the process of change, which produces dialogue about truths and raises the possibility of accepting other truths. Forth is the integration stage, where ex-napiter have discovered new truths and be able to hold their own belief without necessarily rejecting the truth hold by the state. This study is expected to shed some lights on the perspectives of terrorist prisoners and former prisoners in Indonesia.

Deradicalisation and Disengagement from Terrorism and Threat to Identity: An Analysis of Former Jihadist Prisoners’ Accounts

This qualitative study aims to explore the personal experience of former prisoners jailed for terrorism-related offenses in Indonesia who have reported or have been reported as having deradicalised or disengaged from violent extremism. The participants were interviewed about their experiences of deradicalisation and disengagement and the perceived implication of the experiences on their identities. Data were collected through semistructured interviews and analysed using a thematic analysis. The results show that most participants reported that they experience identity threats because of their status as former terrorist prisoners from former comrades as well as from the wider society. The threats were said to have impacted negatively upon their positive sense of self; thus, they invoked the strategies to cope with the threats. While participants’ strategies to cope with former jihadist comrades’ threats operated in the intrapersonal level, their strategies to alleviate the threats from wider society occur in the interpersonal level. This study found that most participants re-evaluate their past experiences positively and even utilised them as a part of their present identities primarily when they dealt with former comrades’ criticisms. To resist the wider society’s stigma and suspicion, they concealed their identity as a former terrorist prisoner while, at the same time, bolstered their personal characteristics in terms of interpersonal relationships.
