Islamic Law, Society, Counter-terrorism, Community Policing, TerrorismAbstract
Terrorism is a serious threat to the social fabric of society. The police are responsible with protecting the public while also addressing the issue of terrorism; yet, they cannot do so alone. As a result, community policing is critical in helping to eradicate terrorism. The purpose of this study is to investigate community policing tactics for combating terrorism, as well as to discover Islamic legal ideas that can inform policy initiatives in this area. The study uses a qualitative methodology and a normative-juridical procedure, drawing on data acquired thru a literature review. The findings show that Indonesia has put in place a number of rules for the application of community policing. The public interest should be the focus of counterterrorism activities, it must be stressed. Thus, incorporating Islamic law principles provides a possible way to combat terrorism by taking preventative action. It is anticipated that putting hifz al-nafs, hifz al-'aql, hifz al-din into practice will be a tangible step toward eliminating terrorism at its root.
