Abstract

This study aims to analyze the factors that cause adolescents to use alcoholic beverages and examine the role of the Boalemo Police in overcoming juvenile delinquency related to the use of alcoholic beverages. The study uses an empirical legal method with a qualitative descriptive approach. Primary data were obtained through interviews with police officers and adolescents who have used alcoholic beverages, while secondary data were obtained from laws and regulations, books, journals, and related documents. The results indicate that adolescent alcohol use is influenced by weak parental supervision, the influence of social circles, the residential environment, a lack of religious education, socioeconomic conditions, and ease of access to alcoholic beverages. Data from the Boalemo Police show that there were 39 cases of juvenile delinquency related to alcoholic beverages from 2018 to 2022, with a predominance of male perpetrators. The police role is carried out through preventive efforts in the form of socialization in schools, coordination with the Social Services and the National Narcotics Agency of Boalemo Regency, raids, guidance, and the issuance of statement letters for adolescents caught consuming alcoholic beverages. This article emphasizes that overcoming juvenile delinquency due to alcoholic beverages requires synergy between families, schools, the police, local governments, and the community.
