Stepping Towards Changing: Anti-Juvenile Delinquency Socialization in Jatiadi Village

Abstract

Socialization activities in Jatiadi Village have preventive aims to reduce juvenile delinquency. In three intensive days, outreach was carried out to focus efforts on understanding the embryo of juvenile delinquency and providing practical solutions. This activity is part of a series of community service activities carried out one month in Jatiadi Village involving Panca Marga University students. The activity began with an opening involving all village teenagers and parent representatives. Initial discussions highlight the negative impacts of juvenile delinquency and allow participants to share experiences. The second day explores positive activities that teens can participate in, including arts, sports and entrepreneurship. Participants had the opportunity to try various activities in workshops guided by a team of lecturers and university teams. The third day involves visits to local companies and the formation of groups based on interests and skills. The result is a shared commitment to support youth initiatives in developing positive activities and income. Survey results show an increase in teenagers' understanding and interest in positive activities. Parents are also more involved in supporting their children. The implementation of this outreach represents a comprehensive and successful effort to reduce juvenile delinquency and create a more positive environment in Jatiadi Village.
