Abstract
The problem of narcotics abuse in Indonesia is now very concerning. The applied criminal sanctions have not been able to inhibit the rate of narcotics abuse in Indonesia. This paper will present the effectiveness of criminal sanctions for narcotics offenders. Through a qualitative approach using the normative juridical method, it was found that the effectiveness of sanctions against the perpetrators of criminal acts of narcotics abuse was not optimal and had a deterrent effect so that narcotics abuse still occurred in the community. Therefore, it requires the participation of all elements of society as well as law enforcement officials to socialize and involve public participation in handling narcotics abuse. The synergy of law enforcement officers and the community is more effective than relying on criminal sanctions alone.
