Jakarta, CNN Indonesia –
Consumption alcoholic drinks considered by criminologists not directly related to criminal offenses or crime. According to criminologists, a crime, even if it is related to alcohol consumption, is usually accompanied by other triggers.
Criminologist Adrianus Meliala said that the criminal’s behavior could not be directly related to alcoholic beverages.
According to him, criminal acts always intersect with other variables related to emotions in a person.
“There is no direct correlation. There are always variables like anger, revenge, access to weapons, malicious intent and others,” Adrianus said when contacted. CNNIndonesia.com, Friday (11/13).
This is related to the Bill (Bill) Alcoholic beverages which is currently being deliberated by DPR.
Article 3 of the Minol Bill establishes that the prohibition of alcoholic beverages aims to protect the public from the negative impacts caused by alcoholic beverages.
The article also states that the purpose of the bill is to sensitize the public about the dangers of alcoholic beverages and to create order and peace in society from the disturbances caused by alcoholic drinkers.
Adrianus assessed that the Minol Bill arose because there was a negative spirit or a negative opinion of the proponents towards alcoholic beverages. Even if viewed by name alone, this bill has the potential to spread to other alcoholics in the medical and religious fields.
“I believe that this law regulates everything related to alcohol. Including the use of alcohol for medical, liturgical purposes (the Catholic Church uses alcohol) and alcohol related to alcohol. cultural purpose,” he said.
Adrianus said that article 3 is biased.
“As a result, this bill is very useless,” he said.

University of Indonesia (UI) criminologist Arthur Josias Simon also claimed that there was no correlation between alcoholic beverages and criminal behavior.
He then shared the results of a five-city investigation into the characteristics of alcohol and its relationship to crime in Indonesia in 2017. In the study, Josias shared that no definitive database was found to reveal that there was a link between the behavior criminal and alcohol consumption.
“There are no specific statistical data and a database (database) on crimes related to alcohol consumption is missing. There is no strong correlation between crime and alcohol consumption,” the study concludes.
That study also claimed that it is too simple to see that drinking is correlated with crime without relying on the strength of the relationship between the two.
This is also reinforced by the lack of agreement on rules or even definitions that rigidly state that alcohol is the source of crime.
“There is no agreement on the rules that regulate the relationship between alcohol and crime, especially alcohol as a cause, trigger, intermediary or accelerator,” the study said.
Previously, the National Police revealed that in the last three years, there have been hundreds of criminal cases related to alcoholic beverages.
The head of the Public Information Office of the Public Relations Division of the National Police, Brigadier General Awi Setiyono, affirmed that the data illustrates that there are cases motivated by alcohol consumption.
“If possible, we will give an illustration, in fact in some criminal cases there are things that have a record for alcohol. During the last three years, from 2018 to 2020 there were 223 cases, ”said Awi.
