Terrorism is a crime against humanity and civilization. The issue of terrorism has become a global threat to every country that is dangerous to the security of every country and international security. The method of research is to combine the types of normative and empirical legal research. The results of research indicate that Radicalism is a paradigm or even a dogma to make a fundamental change in accordance with the understanding of the ideology adopted and believed. Radicalism is not only done in a persuasive way, but also with physical violence or terror. Deradicalization is a prevention and maintenance effort. Deradicalization is proactive. The targets of deradicalization are the whole society, both those who have already had a “virus” of radicalism and those who have not been affected by radicalism. The deradicalization program carried out by the government can be spearhead in socializing and anticipating the dangers of radicalism and terrorism in Indonesia. Deradicalization is a convincing process as a form of combating violence (terrorism); that spreading goodness (religion) may not use intimidation, terror, and violence in any form. The benefits of deradicalization program are counter terrorism, prevent radicalism, in comparative understanding, avoid provocation of hatred and hostility in the name of religion, prevent people from indoctrination, and society participation to fight against terrorism.
