Abstract

After reform, conflicts in various areas of Indonesia significantly increased in escalation. By enacting Regulation in Lieu of Law (Perppu) Number 1 of 2002 concerning the Eradication of Criminal Acts of Terrorism, which eventually became Law Number 15 of 2003, the Indonesian government took action against terrorism. The President also released Presidential Regulation (Perpres) Number 46 of 2003 in addition to those two items. In addition, the President issued Presidential Regulation (Perpres) Number 46 of 2010 concerning to the National Counter-Terrorism Agency (BNPT), which is in charge of developing national policies, strategies, and programs in the fight against terrorism, with deradicalization as the primary tactic. But even after the BNPT was established, there were several terrorist attacks in numerous places. This shows that the deradicalization strategy is still not being adequately put into practice. Therefore, study must be done to examine how the deradicalization approach is applied to former terrorism convict, with a particular emphasis on the bombing in Makassar City. The research method uses a qualitative approach to gather primary data from people who are knowledgeable about the research issue and a literature review to support the main data. The study’s findings indicate that the deradicalization strategy has been carried out in three stages, namely by national insight, religious insight, and entrepreneurialism. The Sikawarui Appa Sulapa (Kapala) Foundation was established by BNPT is one of the results of following the deradicalization policy to provide housing for ex-napiters in the South Sulawesi Province, especially in Makassar City.
