Iftitah Sari

Iftitah Sari is a researcher at the Institute for Criminal Justice Reform (ICJR) in Indonesia, known for her critical analysis of police reform in the country. She has emphasized the urgent need for comprehensive reform of the Indonesian National Police (Polri) due to longstanding issues of integrity and oversight, which have led to abuses of power. Iftitah argues that the agenda for reform has been neglected since 1998, as the focus has largely shifted to the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI), leaving Polri in a state of dysfunction. Her insights have been pivotal in discussions around the necessary structural and cultural changes within the police force.
