Abstract

This paper analyzes transnational crimes in the coastal waters of Bengkalis Regency, Riau Province, Indonesia. Due to its proximity to the Malacca Strait, the regency of Bengkalis is prone to cross-border crimes, such as drug smuggling, illicit trade, human trafficking, and Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) fishing. This research relied on primary and secondary data from interviews, official documents, and other scholarly literature. The crime report between 2015 to 2020 shows that all of the main islands of Bengkalis Regency, Rupat Island, Bengkalis Island, and Rangsang and Tebingtinggi Islands are vulnerable to the smuggling of goods, piracy, human trafficking, and IUU fishing. Most perpetrators came from ASEAN countries, such as Malaysia, Vietnam, the Philippines, and Indonesia. Due to the dynamic nature of transnational crimes, this paper suggests that the Indonesian government should not only focus on strengthening its own capacity but also with the regional neighbors to tackle cross-border crimes.
