Abstract
The border area is a hot spot for narcotics smuggling, through ports ranging from the eastern waters of Sumatra from Aceh to Lampung to Kalimantan, Riau and the Riau Islands, which are vulnerable to the circulation of narcotics in Indonesia because 80 percent of narcotics in Indonesia enter through this route. The smuggling of narcotics is caused by the high amount of wages for one-time methamphetamine courier who can earn Rp. 60 million to Rp. 80 million. Law enforcement against narcotics crimes through efforts to impoverish narcotics dealers still needs to construct a comprehensive and integrated criminal law system with other regulations and apply to both the national and international world. Efforts to tackle the illicit trafficking of narcotics in border areas are still needed to improve coordination with other countries which are transit places and illicit narcotics trafficking in Indonesia.
