| dc.description.abstract | The practice of gambling conducted through billiards in Sleman remains ongoing,
although there are regulations that prohibit gambling. Many entertainment
venues, such as billiard halls, are used to organize disguised gambling as
tournaments or competitions. This phenomenon poses a challenge for law
enforcement, particularly in applying Article 303 bis of the Criminal Code
(KUHP) to such cases. This research aims to analyse criminal activities involved
in gambling with the modus operandi of billiards in the Sleman area and the
mechanism of law enforcement regarding billiard gambling. The method used in
this study is an empirical approach. Data collected were through interviews with
police officers and alleged perpetrators of gambling, as well as studies on
relevant documents and literature. Research results show that although gambling
in billiards involves varying bets, this practice remains part of the billiard gaming
culture in Sleman. The law enforcement of billiard gambling at Sleman Police
Office is facing constraints in the form of a lack of effective supervision and the
existence of disguised gambling activities. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct
stricter supervision as well as the application of Article 303 bis of the Criminal
Code more firmly with technological support and proactive approaches in
detection and action enforcement | en_US |
