Peran Polri dalam Menanggulangi Tindak Pidana Pencurian dengan Kekerasan (Begal) di Wilayah Kabupaten Bangkalan
Abstract
This study aims to analyze the factors contributing to robbery with violence (commonly known as begal) and the efforts undertaken by the Indonesian National Police to address this crime in Bangkalan Regency. This research employs an empirical legal method with a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through interviews and documentation, supported by an examination of relevant legislation and legal literature. The findings reveal four major factors contributing to robbery with violence: economic conditions, the social environment, low levels of education, and narcotics abuse. To address these crimes, Bangkalan Police (Polres Bangkalan) implement three approaches: preventive, repressive, and curative measures. Preventive efforts include routine patrols, vehicle inspections, the use of closed-circuit television (CCTV), neighborhood security activities, and public awareness campaigns. Repressive measures involve receiving crime reports, examining witnesses, conducting investigations, and taking legal action against perpetrators in accordance with applicable laws. Meanwhile, curative measures include providing assistance to victims and conducting guidance and rehabilitation programs for offenders in accordance with legal provisions. Recorded crime statistics indicate a decline from 38 cases in 2022 to 22 cases in 2023 and 10 cases in 2024. This study highlights the importance of synergy among the police, local communities, and regional government in strengthening crime prevention and law enforcement efforts against robbery with violence
