Abstract: The present study reviewed the alternative strategies to counseling in addressing crime problems in Brunei. We focused the probe on the roles of the legal-judicial system (e.g., the Misuse of Drugs Act), expected contributions of the newly introduced Syariah Penal Code, possible effects of the none jail state institutions such as the Bureau for Narcotics and juvenile rehabilitation centers as well as the community preventive efforts. Further, in-depth research was recommended to provide additional information.
