        "summary": "Polri\u2019s leadership-authored book Gamification of Violence in Modern Terror in the Digital Era reframes how modern security threats emerge and evolve within digital ecosystems, arguing for early detection, digital literacy, and cross-sector collaboration as long-term prevention. The work underscores that future security depends on shared responsibility among government, families, schools, communities, digital platforms, and wider society.",
        "content": "<p>A Polri-authored book argues that current security threats are not\nalways recognisable in obvious forms. Security threats can grow slowly\nthrough the digital space, social interactions, visual culture, and\nrepeated exposure to information that shapes people\u2019s thinking. The\nthread running through these changing threat patterns is the throughline\nof Gamification of Violence in Modern Terror in the Digital Era, a book\nby Komjen Pol. Dedi Prasetyo, Komjen Pol. (Purn.) Eddy Hartono, and\nIrjen Pol. Sentot Prasetyo. The book was reviewed as part of the Densus\n88 Antiteror Polri 2026 work conference at Hotel Bidakara, South\nJakarta. The book presents a different perspective. While discussions of\nterrorism have long been synonymous with networks, organisations, or\nvisible actions, Gamification of Violence invites readers to understand\nthe often overlooked phase: how threats form, develop, and transform\nwithin fast-moving digital ecosystems. Through an approach that blends\nsecurity, psychology, law, digital technology, education, and child\nprotection, the book seeks to answer one important question: how can the\nstate and society read threats before they materialise? The Deputy\nNational Police Chief emphasised that changes in threat patterns must be\nmatched by changes in thinking and strategy. \u201cThreats today move faster\nthan the old methods of handling them. Therefore, we need to build the\nability to read early warning signs, strengthen prevention, and enhance\ncommunity resilience,\u201d he said. He added that modern extremism threats\nare increasingly fluid, not always bound to formal structures, and often\ndevelop through digital networks that are difficult to map with\nconventional approaches. Hence, the book stresses the importance of\nearly detection, digital literacy, child protection, school\nstrengthening, family, and cross-sector collaboration as part of\nlong-term prevention strategies. Interestingly, the book does not only\ndiscuss threats but also offers ways of viewing security as a shared\nresponsibility. It asserts that future security cannot be safeguarded by\nthe authorities alone; it requires involvement from families, the\neducation sector, communities, digital platforms, and wider society.\nMore than a Security Study, This Is About Reading Change Reading\nGamification of Violence in Modern Terror in the Digital Era invites\nreaders to understand the new faces of threats that quietly develop amid\nchanging times. The book does not adopt a rigid approach but tries to\nexplain the interconnectedness between technology, human behaviour,\nsocial spaces, and security. The strength of the book lies in its\ncourage to raise relatively new issues that are still rarely discussed\ncomprehensively in Indonesia: how digital spaces can shape thinking,\ninfluence behaviour, and create risks that require a more adaptive\nprevention approach. The discussion is enriched by responses from\ninterdisciplinary discussants, namely Zora Arfina Sukabdi, Harkristuti\nHarkrisnowo, Adityana Kasandra Putranto, and Ismail Fahmi, who deepen\nperspectives on psychology, law, social protection, and the dynamics of\ndigital information. During the event, the authors also received the\nIntellectual Property Certificate (HKI) from the Directorate General of\nIntellectual Property of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights of the\nRepublic of Indonesia, in acknowledgment of their intellectual\ncontributions and the development of literature related to security and\nprevention of extremism in the digital era. This HKI recognition marks\nthat the book is not only an academic discussion space but also part of\nstrengthening knowledge and innovative thinking in addressing future\nsecurity challenges. \u201cThe state must not only be present when threats\nhave already grown. Prevention must come earlier, while law enforcement\nis the last step conducted in a measured manner,\u201d he said. Through this\nbook, Polri asserts that Indonesia\u2019s safety is built by the ability to\nunderstand change, strengthen community resilience, and implement\nprevention before threats develop. Because in the digital era, the most\ndangerous threat is not only the visible one but the one that grows\nunnoticed.<\/p>",
