Rehabilitation System as Legal Protection Efforts for Victims of Narcotics Crime

Drug abuse has become a problem in the world. For addicts, the government has sought to reduce the adverse effects of drug use by providing rehabilitation facilities. Rehabilitation aims for victims of drug users to recover, be productive, and become the nation's successors in the future. Meanwhile, the position of a user in the Narcotics Law is still as a perpetrator. So, the user does not get the maximum care and recovery because he has to stay in prison. This study discusses the legislation regarding the legal protection of narcotics crimes victims and the law enforcement efforts in protecting victims of narcotics crimes in Indonesia. The research method in this study is normative juridical. This research is an analytical descriptive. The results of the study show that the effectiveness of regulations regarding rehabilitation by victims of narcotics crimes does not always go well. The interpretation of law enforcement officers regarding rehabilitation is not the same so that there are multiple interpretations. Some law enforcement officers make victims as perpetrators of crime. Therefore in the future, law enforcement will prioritize the rights of victims of narcotics crimes for legal certainty and legal justice.
