Optimization of Counseling and Guidance in Preventing Motor Vehicle Theft Crimes by the Binmas Unit of Sleman District Police

Abstract

Motorized vehicles are a necessity for Indonesian society to support day-to-day activities and are considered one of the most essential needs. Motorized vehicles have also become a source of quick income for many people, as they can be obtained through down payment or credit. However, some people take advantage of this by committing social deviant acts, such as theft or other crimes, which can disrupt the security and order in society. This research aims to describe the implementation of counseling and guidance, the factors influencing its implementation, and efforts to optimize its implementation by the Binmas unit in preventing motorcycle theft within the jurisdiction of Sleman Police Resort. This study employs a qualitative approach with field research. To discuss the problem of optimizing counseling and guidance in dealing with vehicle theft, the author uses management theory concepts and related concepts. The results indicate that several factors hinder the implementation of counseling by the Polres Sleman Police, outweighing the supporting factors. Thus, it can be concluded that the implementation of counseling by the Sleman Police Binmas unit has not been optimal due to both internal and external inhibiting factors.
