Abstract

The purpose of this research is to analyze the characteristics of transnational crime, the factors that become obstacles and support for transnational prevention efforts, and to analyze the strategy of crime prevention carried out by the Patrol Ship Task Force Ditpolair Korpolairud Baharkam Polri in the case of Transnational Crime in the Riau Archipelago. The field research method is supported by a literature study with a qualitative approach. The results of the analysis show that the Riau Archipelago is an important transit route for various transnational crimes, including drug trafficking, human trafficking, ship theft, sea robbery, and forestry crimes. Strategic ports and vast waterways in the region facilitate illegal activities by transnational syndicates. Addressing this problem requires international cooperation, increased supervision, strong law enforcement, and public awareness and education. However, there are several obstacles to prevention, such as unclear institutional regulations, overlapping jurisdictions, and a lack of coordination among law enforcement agencies. Inadequate human resources, tendencies to corruption, and the absence of specific terms of detention hinder law enforcement efforts. On the positive side, the presence of the Patrol Boat Task Force and well-trained personnel supports the prevention of transnational crime. Integrated cross-sectoral cooperation, increased patrols, effective communication, and empowerment of resources are essential in combating transnational crime. This holistic approach is in line with the principles of sustainable tourism, which aim to create a safe, stable and sustainable environment for local communities and the tourism sector in the Riau Archipelago.
