Kesepakatan Komuniti Dalam Menangani Kegiatan Jenayah Kejiranan Di Malaysia Menggunakan Pendekatan Skim Rondaan Sukarela (SRS)

Abstract

Community aspects need to be addressed especially in residential areas. This is because the community can also act as an important agency to the Police by providing ‘in-put’ to the safety of the population. Their role is also huge in helping the government communicate its objectives, in addition to easing the burden of the Police preventing street crime. This study was conducted to identify the extent and extent of community involvement in the SRS and its impact on the success of SRS in reducing neighborhood crime. This quantitative study uses questionnaires in data collection. A total of 370 respondents who were SRS members from three major districts in Kedah were selected as respondents for the study. The data obtained were analyzed by various statistical methods to answer the research questions. The findings show that the involvement of the population in SRS is high. The SRS leadership factor became the most important factor in attracting people to join the SRS. In addition, knowledge of SRS and benefits received also helped attract people’s participation. Finally, this study found that there was a strong relationship between the involvement of the population in SRS and the success of SRS in reducing the crime rate of the neighborhood. This study suggests that the government, especially the National Unity and National Integration Department (JPNIN), has held various promotions in attracting more people’s participation. In addition, the study also suggested that each SRS member be given more benefits so that their motivation for voluntary service is continuous and sustainable.
