Prof. Agus explained that he chose this topic based on thinking framework: the imperfect legislative regulation system in Indonesia; the high crime rate in the country; the management of correctional institutions in Indonesia; and the widespread, systematic, and massive structured group violence that has become a cultural norm in Indonesia.
