Criminal Sanctions, Addicts, Narcotics

Abstract

Drug abuse is classified as a criminal act in Law Number 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics. The application of the criminal punishment system for perpetrators of drug abuse prioritizes a humanistic approach that pays attention to the principle of individualization of punishment in the use of criminal sanctions as a means of overcoming crime. In essence, perpetrators of drug abuse are also victims who need medical help. The implementation of measures in the form of medical and social rehabilitation aims to improve the condition of drug abusers so that they are free from drug dependence and can return to society normally. The results of the study are the provisions of criminal sanctions for imprisonment and rehabilitation for narcotics addicts of the type of methamphetamine in Law Number 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics, namely that imprisonment for victims of drug abuse needs to be replaced with rehabilitation measures as adopted in the two-track system in sentencing (double track system).
