Desperate times: How COVID-19 drove ordinary people to crime
YOHANA BELINDA

THE JAKARTA POST

Jakarta / Fri, October 15, 2021 / 11:32 am

The COVID-19 pandemic triggered a massive job crisis that left millions unemployed, with very few
legitimate options to put food on the table. The Jakarta Post spoke to three individuals about how they
resorted to crime just so they and their families could survive.

Moch. Jinar Ridwan is a 37-year-old father of two young children, an infant and a toddler, who lives in
Jombang, East Java. He used to sell bakso (meatballs) until COVID-19 arrived and left him without a job.

“Before the pandemic, I sold meatballs in several areas in Jombang to earn a living. However, the
pandemic made me lose my source of income,” Jinar said on 29 Sept. 2021, during The Jakarta Post’s
visit to Jombang Penitentiary, where he is serving his sentence for a burglary conviction.

Jinar used to earn between Rp 90,000 (US$6.33) and Rp 100,000 each day from selling bakso. When the
pandemic hit, his income decreased drastically to Rp 25,000 per day, mostly as a result of the
government’s variously named policies to restrict community mobility and curb the virus’ spread.

“That Rp 25,000 was not my net income. With that money, I still had to buy cigarettes for myself and
plastic wrap for the bakso,” he recalled.

The former bakso seller stole electronic devices like LCDs and computer hard drives from 23 different
schools in Jombang. He started stealing in January, and his last heist netted him Rp 30 million in
equipment from SDN Podoroto elementary school in mid-September, when the local police caught up
with him.

Jinar said he received Rp 300,000 in monthly social assistance from the government for just three
months, after which the aid stopped coming. He said he was too ashamed to ask his neighborhood unit
(RT) head about it. That was when he started targeting schools to steal electronic equipment that he
could resell for cash.

Good luck 
Jinar told the Post he originally planned to burgle just one school so he could support his family. Still
without a job, however, Jinar found himself unable to stop. It didn’t help that he was making far more
from just one burglary than he ever did as a bakso seller.

According to Jombang Police investigator Brig. Dwi Ari Suryanto, Jinar surveilled the schools he had
targeted before carrying out the theft. Jinar mostly targeted schools that were padlocked on the
outside, Dwi said, because he knew then that the school did not have on-site security.

A case like Jinar’s was ineligible for sentencing based on the concept of restorative justice, said Jombang
Police chief Brig. Lukman Hardiyanto, as he had committed the same crime on 23 separate occasions,
enough to put him behind bars for up to seven years.

“To grant restorative justice, we always need to [review] the situation. First, we can grant it if the
[crime] is not repeated. Second, the perpetrator must report [their movements] to us every Monday or
Thursday,” Lukman told the Post.

It is unclear who is taking care of Jinar’s family while he is in jail.

Please find the meaning of the following words by guessing the meaning from the context:
1. Triggered 6. Toddler
2. Massive 7. Crime
3. Resorted 8. Stole
4. Survive 9. Ineligible
5. Infant 10. Grant

Good luck 
