NASIONALXPOS.CO.ID — Indonesia, as a country with cultural and religious diversity, has faced serious challenges related to its national security, particularly in dealing with the threat of terrorism. To address the impact of acts of terrorism, the Indonesian government through Corrections has implemented various strategies, including Community Research (Litmas) conducted by Community Supervisor (PK) of Correctional Center (Bapas) as one of the tools to identify inmates before conducting initial guidance to terrorism inmates.
What is Litmas?
Litmas stands for Community Research, a multidisciplinary approach that aims to understand criminal, cultural, and psychological phenomena related to criminal behavior, including terrorism. The main function of Litmas is to design coaching programs that can help resocialize terrorism prisoners and prevent them from re-engaging in radical activities.
