Measuring Terrorism Convicts (NAPITER) Radicalism in Kedungpane Penitentiary Facility in Semarang

Terrorism and radicalism seem to never go out. The perpetrators of terror and adherents of radicalism have never lost their minds, tactics, and techniques in regenerating themselves. Despite of that, it is alleged that the perpetrators who have undergone a period of guidance (imprisonment/terrorism convicts) are also innecessarily sterile from radical ideologies that have already penetrated their veins and bloodstream. Indonesia is a country with high heterogeneity and multiculturalism. Under these conditions, it is very vulnerable to radicalism and at the same time there are difficulties in deradicalization. At more precarious level, this radicalism will emerge as an act of terrorism. Therefore, the state and all components of society must swiftly contrive various efforts and strategies so that these prisoners can be deradicalized. Thus far, the available legal instruments are mostly focused on repressive efforts (punishment of perpetrators). Whereas the facts represent that these repressive efforts do not necessarily stop radicalism and terrorism. The number of imprisoned perpetrators, in fact, is not inversely proportional to the decline in acts of terrorism in the state. This research is expected to be useful in providing information in understanding the map of radicalism of terrorism convicts (Napiter) in Kedungpane Penitentiary Facility in Semarang.
