Religion-Based Social Relations in Police Practice in Managing Klitih in the Special Region of Yogyakarta
Keywords:
social relations, religion, police, klitih, YogyakartaAbstract
In recent years, the phenomenon of klitih in the Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY) has caused
widespread public concern. Although the police have the authority to enforce the law, addressing
this crime is insufficient when relying solely on repressive measures. This article examines how
police practices in DIY utilize religion-based social relations—namely forms of collaboration
involving religious leaders, majelis taklim, pesantren, and Islamic educational institutions—to
manage klitih-related crime. Using a qualitative approach through literature review, interviews, and
observation, the study finds that the police have developed various collaborative programs such as
religiously framed public safety outreach, mentoring for at-risk youth through majelis taklim, and
preventive partnerships with pesantren and dakwah communities. This religion-based approach
has proven effective in engaging the moral dimensions of youth, strengthening community social
control, and fostering a sense of solidarity between law enforcement, community members, and
religious leaders. Nevertheless, its implementation faces several challenges, including limited
resources, resistance among some youths, and uneven program continuity. This article asserts that
religion-based social relations contribute significantly to expanding the police’s role as inclusive,
preventive, and contextually grounded guardians of public order within a religious society.
