DAMPAK PENJUALAN MINUMAN KERAS YANG TIDAK MEMILIKI IZIN DI WILAYAH HUKUM POLSEK TAPA

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the impact of the circulation of alcoholic beverages without business permits in Tapa District, Bone Bolango Regency, as well as the law enforcement efforts carried out by local police. The circulation of unauthorized alcoholic beverages, including "cap tikus," has led to negative impacts on public order, public health, and increased crime rates in the area. This research employs a qualitative approach with an empirical method, using observation, interviews, and literature studies. The findings indicate that the illegal circulation of alcoholic beverages contributes to social disturbances, health issues, and a decline in societal morals, particularly among the younger generation. The law enforcement efforts by the Tapa Police involve preventive, repressive, and pre-emptive approaches to combat the circulation of these beverages. However, there are still challenges in the implementation of law enforcement, including low community awareness and weak coordination among related agencies. Therefore, increased cooperation between law enforcement, the community, and the government is necessary to combat the illegal circulation of alcoholic beverages and create a safer and more orderly society.
