The reality is that it should be a reason for us to worry because it threatens the future of the young generation who are the holders and successors of the nation's relay. That said because the impact caused by drugs is so tragic. The impact of drugs includes physical, psychological, social and economic impacts. This study aims to find out the causes of the increasing number of crime narcotics in the perspective of criminology. This type of research is an empirical research. Police officials, advocates, and narcotics abusers were taken as samples in this study. Data collection is done through interviews and documentation. The results showed that the regulation of narcotics crime prevention has not been effective in practice. Narcotics crime should have been reduced to the lowest in the presence of Act Number 35 the Year 2009 on Narcotics, but in reality, tend to increase every year. In the perspective of criminology with the observation of the age, sex, education, and work of narcotics perpetrators, it is found that multiple factors are interrelated, including psychological factors, sociological factors, and economic factors as criminal etiologies that trigger an increase in narcotics crime.
