GOVERNMENTALITY: NARCOTICS CRIME PREVENTION IN DEPRIVED NEIGHBOURHOODS OF “KAMPUNG NARKOBA” IN WEST JAKARTA

The prevention of narcotics crime is a crucial problem in Indonesia. Dealing with a complex and multi-layered narcotics distribution network, it is not easy to control the drugs market. This study investigates the efforts to prevent narcotics crime through the Community Policing approach, namely by involving the community. Through the concept of governmentality, the study found that narcotics crime prevention needs to distinguish various types of communities involved. The research proposes three different models. When coping with deprived neighbourhoods, narcotics crime prevention goes beyond "disciplining others" (governing others). As such, it also involves the actions of "governing the self." Community policing needs more than collaborating with the anti-narcotics community since the problems are related not only to awareness of "anti-narcotics". In fact, it also deals with the roots of social problems in an area.
