Abstract
This article evaluates the policy of deradicalization of terrorist groups in Indonesia by using a mix method approach to explore the message structure in terrorism regulation related to the idea of peace incentives. Through a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods, this study analyzes how current terrorism regulations communicate and implement peace incentives. The findings of the study show that despite deradicalization efforts, terrorism activities in Indonesia are still ongoing. This is closely related to the lack of institutionalization of the idea of comprehensive peace incentives for families and terrorism networks. The lack of integration of peace incentives in deradicalization programs causes the approach applied to be incremental and partial, not touching the root of the problem holistically. This research highlights the importance of developing more inclusive deradicalization policies, which not only focus on terrorist individuals, but also pay attention to and engage their families and networks. Thus, the deradicalization program can run more effectively and sustainably, support the achievement of a more stable peace and significantly reduce terrorism activities in Indonesia.
