Speaking about criminal in Bali, it is no other part of the world is comparable to the land of Bali. An American lady who change her name to Ketut Tantri was so impressed by the peace of Bali and security from criminal in 1930 at every spot of land in Bali. Then she wrote a book with the title of " Revolusi Nusa Damai" meaning The Revolt in Peaceful Island. It is true until 1970s Bali was totally free of any type of crime when there was still 100% Balinese to settle the island. Tourism business developed, various people come to Bali from other provinces of Indonesia and from other countries. What happened? Those people come to Bali from America, Australia and Europe have not been as only a tourists but some were allegedly criminals or at least black business practitioners in many fields of economy. Some of them already to clear that buy the handicraft product at carver of A then brought the sample to B or to Java or to other places to get cheaper cost of production, or even bringing people from Java to Bali for their own production, lately also taken from Lombok island. When they do not have project to produce the Javanese of Lombok workers were neglected roaming around big city of Denpasar without enough skill to compete.

By 1980s had been many Javanese and Lombok people roaming in Denpasar city and their existence favored the new booming projects of constructing hotels, villas, restaurants, and many also government construction. Most of these people were not ready to live in modern way, they got the money and then spent out, just like living in food hunter and food gatherer. It is hard to understand historically Javanese and Balinese are actually come from the same root of ethnic, what has made them spiritually so different, many speculation about the causes can be read in the internet also.

This is the beginning of Bali encountered with criminal such as thieveries, pick pockets, liars, falsifications, deceiving and the types. Too many Balinese handicraft producers were deceived by foreign importers, including garment manufactures, gold and silver smith producers and even workers between 1970 to 1990. Local government did not aware of what happened in the society, a request of SOS to Indonesian diplomatic mission abroad never got response, and at last the Balinese that got the final burden. Later 1990s a new trend coming from Japan what is spoken by people working in tourism as pre-conditioned complaint, especially those having romantic relation with Japanese lady which hit the staff of hotel or tour operator. It had been such persistent education for Balinese to do crime, and thanks Gods the personality of 99.99% of Balinese still intact, not being inspired by this way of life.
