Substance and prescription drug misuse among adolescents continues to escalate and demands targeted preventive strategies within the school setting. This community service activity aimed to enhance students’ knowledge about the hazards of drug abuse through an interactive, school-based educational intervention. The program was conducted on 11 November 2026 at SMA Negeri 7 Kota Batam, involving fifty grade-X students as participants. A pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design was employed. The intervention combined interactive lectures, real-case illustrations, and two-way discussion, with knowledge measured using a content-validated questionnaire covering ten indicators. The mean score improved from 55.2 (pretest) to 86.3 (posttest), a gain of 31.1 points, while the proportion of correct answers across indicators rose from 48.6-62.9% to 80.0-91.4%. The largest gains appeared on items concerning rational drug use and the importance of professional health guidance, whereas the legal-consequence indicator improved more modestly. Interactive, contextually relevant education proves effective in elevating adolescent knowledge of drug abuse hazards, with stronger gains on experience-near content than on abstract regulatory aspects.

This study discusses the reform of criminal law regarding acts of abuse of power within the Indonesian legal system. Abuse of power committed by public officials constitutes a serious violation of the rule of law and the principle of equality before the law because it can harm society and weaken public trust in the government. The old Criminal Code inherited from the colonial era was considered incapable of providing an optimal deterrent effect against perpetrators of abuse of authority. Therefore, the enactment of Law Number 1 of 2023 concerning the New Criminal Code became an important step in the reform of criminal law in Indonesia. This study aims to analyze criminal law reform policies in overcoming abuse of power and the effectiveness of their implementation in law enforcement. The results show that the new Criminal Code expands regulations regarding abuse of authority with stricter criminal sanctions and additional penalties in the form of revocation of office rights. However, its implementation still faces challenges such as political intervention, low integrity of law enforcement officials, and the potential overlap with the Corruption Eradication Law. Therefore, the success of criminal law reform requires the support of legal substance, legal structure, and legal culture that work in harmony.

Drug abuse among adolescents has been increasing, including among youth in Papua. According to data from the National Narcotics Agency (BNN) of Papua Province, there was a 1.73% increase in 2023. One of the contributing factors to adolescent involvement in drug abuse is low self-control. This study aimed to provide self-control training to help prevent drug abuse among adolescents independently. The program involved 37 vocational high school students in Jayapura City and employed a one-group pretest–posttest experimental design without a control group. The intervention consisted of self-control training delivered through lectures, discussions, and a structured learning module. The results indicated a significant improvement in self-control before and after the intervention, as evidenced by a significance value of 0.000 (p < 0.05) using a paired sample t-test, with an increase in the mean pre-test score (M = 46; SD = 7) to the mean post-test score (M = 48; SD = 6). These findings suggest that students of SMK Negeri 9 Jayapura experienced an improvement in self-control after participating in the training. Practically, this study demonstrates that self-control training can serve as an effective psychological intervention to address drug abuse and harmful substance use among adolescents. This intervention not only helps reduce addictive behaviors but also has the potential to enhance students’ quality of life and academic achievement.

The purpose of the study was to analyze the legality and limits of police repressive actions against protests that resulted in riots. This type of research is normative legal research with a legislative approach, a case approach and a conceptual approach. The analysis used in this study is an analytical descriptive technique. The results of the research show that the law is always used as a guideline in limiting all citizens' behavior to stay on the right path. Protests often lead to riots, destruction of public facilities, attacks on officers, and violations of public order, so that there is a criminal threat for protesters who do not maintain order and security. The regulation of police repressive actions in protests that result in chaos still needs special refinement in the context of protests, among which the substance of repressive actions must also harmonize technological developments and digitalization in security maintenance. The rules need to be updated by adding objective indicators of threats, public accountability mechanisms, transparent documentation obligations, measurable proportionality standards, and room for recovery for victims of abuse of power.

Adolescents affected by parental divorce face increased risks of mental health challenges, often exacerbated by custody disputes, post-separation abuse, and institutional inadequacies. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of trauma-informed, family-based interventions and custody-related policy reforms that promote adolescent mental health, with a focus on the integration of the Islamic principle of maslahah as an ethical framework. A systematic review was conducted using three databases (ScienceDirect, PubMed, Scopus) covering publications from 2000 to 2024. Inclusion criteria focused on empirical studies addressing interventions, custody policies, and mental health outcomes in adolescents aged 10–21. Findings reveal that Treatment Foster Care Oregon (TFCO) reduces behavioral issues and improves emotional regulation; Multisystemic Therapy and Wraparound Services prevent custody relinquishment and support family cohesion. Legislative reforms like the Family First Prevention Services Act have shown promise in redirecting funding toward prevention, yet face significant implementation disparities. Reports of healthcare obstruction and court-induced trauma remain critical threats to adolescent well-being. The review also found that custody loss, particularly among adolescent parents, correlates with increased substance use and long-term psychosocial instability. The integration of maslahah into legal and mental health frameworks provides a culturally grounded approach to trauma-informed reform. These findings emphasize the need for cross-sectoral collaboration, standardized trauma protocols, and culturally responsive service models. This study advances a holistic understanding of adolescent welfare in custody contexts and identifies pathways for ethical and sustainable reform.

Drug abuse (NAPZA) has become a serious threat among students and poses significant risks to their physical health, psychological well-being, and future development. Therefore, preventive efforts through structured education and mentoring programs are essential. This community service activity aims to describe the process and outcomes of a drug abuse prevention mentoring program conducted at SMP Negeri 2 Bulu, Temanggung. The program applied a participatory approach consisting of four stages: coordination with the school, educational socialization on the dangers of drugs, follow-up activities through discussions and student reflections, and evaluation to measure students’ understanding. The educational sessions were delivered using interactive lectures, question-and-answer methods, and visual learning media to enhance students’ engagement and comprehension. The results indicate an increase in students’ knowledge and awareness regarding the types, impacts, and prevention strategies of drug abuse. Moreover, students demonstrated more positive attitudes and a stronger commitment to avoiding drugs as a form of self-protection for their health and future. This program is expected to serve as a school-based preventive education model to reduce drug abuse among students through collaboration between teachers, schools, and the wider community.

Narcotics are a frightening scourge on society. Drug use is a pathological behavior that is harmful both to the individual and to society. The widespread use of drugs in Indonesia prompted the government to issue Law No. 35 of 2009 on narcotics, which includes provisions for the rehabilitation of individuals who abuse drugs. Rehabilitation is an effort to enable a person to function normally without addiction to addictive substances. One of the institutions that carries out rehabilitation related to addictive substances is the Sahabat Sehat Rekan Sebaya Jakarta Foundation. This foundation uses art therapy as a rehabilitation method. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to describe the art therapy process as a rehabilitation effort at the foundation. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection through interviews, document reviews, and observations using purposive sampling as the informant selection technique. The results of this study show that the rehabilitation process begins with assessment, detoxification, and art therapy, both primary and re-entry, as well as aftercare or monitoring. The results show that rehabilitation using the art therapy method has successfully restored the physical, psychological, and social conditions of former drug users. They are physically fit, not easily tired, and able to control their sleeping hours. Psychologically, they are not anxious and are able to express themselves and their feelings through art, and socially, they began to reconnect with people they had previously cut off due to feelings of shame and lack of confidence.

Drug abuse (Narcotics, Psychotropics, and other Addictive Substances) is a serious problem that can threaten the younger generation, especially in the Panggung Kidul Village area. The lack of public understanding, especially teenagers, regarding the dangers and negative impacts of drug abuse is one of the factors that influence the high risk of substance abuse. Therefore, innovative and interactive educational media are needed to increase public awareness and understanding regarding the prevention of drug abuse. This study offers a solution by designing and developing educational media based on Augmented Reality (AR) technology as a visual and interactive tool that conveys information in an interesting and easy-to-understand manner. The use of smartphones as the main device in AR applications makes this media more easily accessible to various groups of people. The test results using the System Usability Scale (SUS) method showed a user satisfaction level of 96% which is included in the Acceptable category. Thus, this AR-based educational media is expected to be an effective means of increasing public understanding of the dangers of drug abuse and encouraging early preventive efforts.

Adolescent drug abuse remains a major public health concern with adverse consequences for health, social functioning, and educational attainment. Limited knowledge and poor refusal skills in the face of environmental pressure are key risk factors. This study assessed the outcomes of a school-based Participatory Action Research (PAR) intervention aimed at improving students’ knowledge and preventive attitudes toward drug abuse. The program was implemented at Madrasah Aliyah Manaratul Islam, Jakarta (August 2025), involving 57 students. The educational intervention combined interactive counseling, small-group discussions, and role-play simulations, followed by pre–post evaluation using the same questionnaire and quantitative analysis with the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Results demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in post-test scores compared with pre-test scores (Z = −3.506; p < 0.001; r = 0.46), with a mean paired difference (pre–post) of −0.877 indicating a positive shift after the intervention. Descriptively, the proportion of students classified with high awareness increased to 87.7% after the program, while mean knowledge scores rose from 63.2% to 85.5%. Qualitative feedback further suggested better understanding of physical and psychological harms, increased confidence to refuse illicit substances, and more active communication with peers and teachers. Overall, the PAR-based school intervention effectively strengthened students’ drug-abuse prevention literacy and readiness and may be scalable to similar school settings.

Criminal law formulation policy is the initial stage in criminal law politics that establishes legal norms formulated in legislation, including religious offenses. In the National Criminal Code enacted through Law No. 1 Year 2023, this policy is reflected in Article 300 - Article 305 of the National Criminal Code which regulates criminal offenses against religion, belief, and worship. In this case, it is important to analyze how the formulation policy on religious criminal offenses in the National Criminal Code and what are the juridical implications of the formulation policy on religious criminal offenses in the National Criminal Code. The research method used is normative juridical and supported by empirical juridical method. The data used are primary data, secondary data, and tertiary data. The data obtained is then analyzed qualitatively. Based on the results of the research, it is known that in the National Criminal Code passed through Law No. 1 of 2023, In Article 300 to Article 305 of the National Criminal Code, the state attempts to reorganize religious offenses by clarifying the elements of the act and the intention of the perpetrator, thus preventing multiple interpretations and abuse of the law. This formulation also expands the reach of legal protection not only to official religions, but also to public order and diversity of beliefs in society. However, in substance, the juridical implications of the policy formulation of religious criminal articles in the National Criminal Code include higher legal certainty, protection of citizens' constitutional rights, and changes in the orientation of punishment from repressive to more educative and preventive.

Narcotics are substances or drugs, whether synthetic or semi-synthetic, derived from plants or non-plant materials that have the potential to cause disturbances or changes in human consciousness. Their use may result in loss of sensation, impaired taste, and, in more severe cases, strong dependency or addiction. While narcotics have undeniable benefits in the fields of medicine, healthcare, and scientific development—particularly in pain management and research—their misuse carries significant risks for both individuals and society. This study adopts a normative legal approach by analyzing existing regulations, statutory provisions, and relevant academic literature regarding narcotics and crime. The findings reveal that narcotics abuse is often closely linked to criminal behavior, as drug dependence can negatively influence psychological stability, decision-making, and social conduct, potentially driving individuals to engage in unlawful acts. Furthermore, crime is a relative concept shaped by context, culture, and societal norms, which means its connection with narcotics requires multidimensional analysis. Law enforcement efforts against narcotics-related crimes have been continuously pursued by authorities through preventive, repressive, and judicial measures, with various court rulings highlighting the gravity of the problem. However, legal enforcement alone is insufficient; a holistic strategy is needed that combines strict law enforcement with rehabilitation, psychological support, and community education. Such a comprehensive approach is expected to reduce narcotics misuse, prevent recidivism, and minimize its destructive impacts. Ultimately, this research seeks to provide deeper insights into the dynamic relationship between narcotics abuse and crime, while offering practical recommendations to achieve more effective solutions for protecting individuals, strengthening social resilience, and promoting public welfare

Drug abuse among adolescents is a serious problem that requires comprehensive and sustainable prevention efforts. Adolescence is a developmental phase characterized by the search for identity, emotional instability, and high levels of influence from the social environment, including peers. In this context, family education plays a central role as the first line of defense in protecting adolescents from the negative influence of drugs. Through open communication, wise supervision, and consistent love and emotional support, parents can create a safe and supportive environment for their children's mental development. Effective family education includes strengthening moral, religious, and social values, aiming to shape adolescents' character and resilience to environmental pressures. In certain situations, family education also needs to be supported by a scientific approach, one of which is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). CBT is a psychological approach that focuses on improving negative thought patterns and behaviors. In the context of discussing drugs, CBT can help adolescents identify the emotional and social triggers that lead them to try illicit substances and equip them with strategies to cope healthily. The integration of family education and CBT therapy creates a comprehensive approach—from the home to professional support—to strengthen adolescents' mental resilience. This collaboration not only reduces the risk of addiction but also encourages adolescents to become more self-aware, emotionally healthy, and productive individuals. Therefore, synergy between families, schools, and mental health professionals is crucial in creating a drug-free generation of young people ready to face the challenges of modern life. Therefore, the active involvement of all parties, including educational institutions and the community, is essential to creating an environment that supports early drug prevention.

Promiscuity is a common issue among adolescents, as a transitional phase that is highly susceptible to environmental influences, directly impacting physical, mental, and social health. Lack of understanding of the impacts of promiscuity can increase health risks for adolescents, including increased risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), unplanned pregnancy, organ damage due to addictive substances (narcotics), mental health disorders, and decreased social and academic functioning. This health promotion activity was conducted at Free Methodist 1 Junior High School in Medan as a form of early education and prevention. The goal was to increase students' knowledge and awareness of the dangers of promiscuity and encourage healthier and more responsible behavior. The method used was preventive education through lectures, discussions, and interactive Q&A sessions. The results of this activity showed an increase in student understanding of the material, for example, understanding of promiscuity increased from 70% to 85% and understanding of drug abuse from 62% to 67.5%, as well as the importance of developing a healthy lifestyle, avoiding harmful substances, and maintaining overall physical, mental, and social health

The abuse of Narcotics, Psychotropics, and Addictive Substances (NAPZA) poses a serious threat to adolescents, including junior high school students. This community service activity aimed to increase students' knowledge and awareness of the dangers of NAPZA through a counseling program conducted at SMPN 1 Sanaman Mantikei. The method involved interactive material presentations, group discussions, and pretest-posttest evaluations. The results showed a significant improvement in students’ knowledge, from 69% to 92% in “good” category after the counseling. This indicates that health education is an effective preventive strategy against substance abuse among adolescents. The activity received positive responses from both students and school staff. Sustainable education programs and integration of NAPZA-related topics into the school curriculum are necessary to build adolescents’ resilience against negative environmental influences. Consistent and collaborative efforts are key to protecting the younger generation from the dangers of drug abuse.

Drugs are an abbreviation of narcotics, psychotropics, and hazardous materials. Narcotics are addictive substances or materials that work on the nervous system, can cause loss of consciousness and pain, and can cause dependence. Psychotropics are substances or active materials that work on the central nervous system, can cause changes in mental activity and behavior, and can cause dependence. To deal with this problem, one of them is through the Sakinah Harakah Bhakti Center Foundation (Sahabat Foundation) South Tangerang, Banten which provides treatment to develop psychological strength called resilience through spiritual guidance. Through spiritual guidance, it is hoped that it will be able to form the resilience of drug abuse students so that they are able to bounce back from various pressures and face the next life with a better perspective. The purpose of this study was to determine how spiritual guidance activities in forming the resilience of drug abuse students at the Sakinah Harakah Bhakti Foundation (Sahabat Foundation). The research method used is qualitative with a descriptive type. The subjects in this study consisted of 1 Foundation administrator, 1 spiritual guide, and 3 beneficiaries (PM) of drug abuse. Through interviews and observations, it is known that spiritual guidance activities at the Sakinah Harakah Bhakti Foundation (Sahabat Foundation) are muhasabah, sirah nabawiyah, theory and practice of worship, and thematic interpretation.

This study discusses law enforcement against corruption crimes that occur in the process of providing People's Business Credit (KUR) facilities at the BRI Bone Pantai Unit as well as the form of criminal responsibility from the management of the banks involved. Through a normative-empirical approach, this study illustrates the weak internal supervision system of banks and the inefficiency of coordination between law enforcement that causes state losses of billions of rupiah. The findings show that the modus operandi in the form of data engineering and abuse of authority is carried out by bank employees in collaboration with external parties. The law enforcement carried out has not touched the structural roots of the weaknesses of the banking system and business ethics in the distribution of KUR. In the context of Lawrence M. Friedman's theory of legal systems, aspects of the structure, substance, and culture of the law show a failure to guarantee accountability and prevention. Therefore, the reconstruction of law enforcement needs to involve systemic improvements, the strengthening of management's criminal responsibility, and the strengthening of the capacity of the bank's internal supervisory institutions so that public trust in the KUR program can be restored.

The abuse of narcotics and psychotropic substances has become increasingly widespread in Indonesia. These two dangerous substances can damage the morals of the younger generation, which is why the Indonesian government enacted Law No. 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics and Psychotropic Substances. With the implementation of this regulation, it is expected that illegal drug use will be reduced. The form of research we used is qualitative, by collecting data from various sources and conducting. The results of our study show that illegal narcotics use in Central Java remains relatively high, especially in the city of Semarang. This is due to factors such as free social interaction and the influence of Western culture. This issue needs to be addressed by the authorities, such as the Central Java National Narcotics Agency (BNN) and the Central Java Regional Police. Our research also found several cases of narcotics abuse in Magelang. The government and law enforcement officials must strengthen rehabilitative approaches for drug users so that they are not solely subjected to criminal penalties, but are also given sanctions through medical and social rehabilitation processes.

Magelang Regency, located in Central Java Province, is facing serious problems related to drug abuse. Drugs are an abbreviation of narcotics, psychotropics, and other dangerous addictive substances. In the law enforcement strategy, the Drug Investigation Unit has implemented a law enforcement strategy including investigations and inquiries, this is conducting in-depth investigations of drug networks and perpetrators of abuse. This study uses a normative and empirical approach. The data sources consist of primary and secondary data. There has been an unlawful act which is contained in Article 112 paragraph (1) of Law Number 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics, which occurred on the side of the road into the Salaman District area, Magelang Regency on Monday, January 6, 2025 at around 22.30 WIB. The results of the study concluded that the Drug Investigation Unit of the Magelang Police played a crucial role in handling recidivists in drug cases through prevention and law enforcement efforts. The government and law enforcement need to work together to increase the effectiveness of rehabilitation programs for drug abusers to prevent them from becoming recidivists on a large scale.

This Community Service Program aims to provide spiritual and pastoral education to the congregation of Gereja Kristus Ketapang Pos Kelapa Gading in addressing the challenges of addiction in the modern era. Addiction is not merely related to technology or substance abuse, but reflects deeper issues of the heart, identity, and life direction. This activity employed a communicative and contextual lecture approach, with an emphasis on biblical values based on Ephesians 5:1–3 and Philippians 4:8–9. God's Word calls believers to live in love, purity, and self-control, directing their minds toward things that are noble and uplifting. The program also highlighted the importance of spiritual disciplines, involvement in healthy communities, and a lifestyle that reflects Christ's love. The church is expected to serve as a place of healing rather than judgment and to actively provide education and guidance that empowers the congregation. The outcome of this activity showed a positive response from participants, marked by personal reflection and renewed commitment to live out Christian values in everyday life.

The abuse of Narcotics, Psychotropics, and Addictive Substances among the younger generation is a serious issue that threatens the future of the nation. This abuse has significant negative impacts on the mental and physical development of the younger generation. Therefore, prevention efforts through education, routine counseling, and positive activities in the community are crucial. The rampant abuse of Narcotics, Psychotropics, and other Addictive Substances among students and college students has become a new problem in the education sector. According to a survey conducted by the National Narcotics Agency (BNN) and the Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI) in 2019, 2.3 million students or college students in Indonesia have consumed narcotics. The lack of knowledge and information among students about the effects of drug abuse is a major factor in the spread of this issue. The approach to implementing community service is carried out in several stages, including initial surveys, problem identification, needs analysis, target audience determination, and program implementation. Based on the community service activities carried out, the benefits are greatly felt. This is evident from the enthusiasm of the participants in engaging in the community service activities. The author would like to express their deepest gratitude to the Principal of SMAN 1 Kutacane, Southeast Aceh Regency, who has provided time and space and fully supported this community service activity so that it could be carried out successfully.
