Terrorism is a form of international crime that is a global threat. Data from the Global Terrorism Index shows an increase in the number of victims of acts of terrorism from 2000-2014. In developing countries, acts of terrorism have a higher fatality rate than in developed countries. Acts of terrorism are also more common in developing countries which have minimal health insurance. On the other hand, acts of terrorism are often associated with Islamic teachings. The results of research in Indonesia as one of the developing countries and the largest Muslim country in the world say differently. The majority of the populations (95%) reject the existence of ISIS in Indonesia. Actions of terrorism have indeed increased since 2000-2016, but in the last five years (2011-2016) the number of acts of terrorism that occurred has tended to decrease. Terrorism in Indonesia is generally motivated by factors of thought, economy, politics, social, psychology and education. The strategy of countering terrorism as an international crime, Indonesia uses a combination of two approaches, namely the hard approach (law, military, and intelligence) and the soft approach (deradicalization, outreach).
