The ideal formulation of police efforts in combating the circulation of crystal methamphetamine among students in the future is with a holistic approach, involving prevention, strict law enforcement, rehabilitation, and community empowerment. Prevention efforts must focus on education, socialization of the dangers of drugs, and strengthening the role of families and schools.
