Abstract

Cases of violence against children in Bekasi City are considered to be quite high, in 2020 there were 196 cases. Thus, the Bekasi Municipal Government took firm measures in dealing with cases of child violence through Bekasi City Regulation Number 12 of 2012 concerning Protection of Women and Children and Bekasi Mayor Regulation Number 19 of 2013 as a guide for all activities of the regional regulation. Therefore, a study was conducted to find out the causes of the increase in child violence rates in the city of Bekasi and how to implement the policies that were previously made to deal with cases of violence against children. This study employed a descriptive qualitative model where the existence of violence against children was described to increase every year even though the government has handled this case by issuing several policies. The results showed that the high cases of child violence in Bekasi City were influenced by the environment, the role of parents, and the use of smartphones without supervision. Meanwhile, the implementation of policies carried out by the Office of Women’s Empowerment and Child Protection related to handling cases of violence against children in Bekasi City can be said to be quite good, namely by prevention through socialization and handling by providing services in the form of counseling to heal trauma, post-mortem to prove the existence of violence, and assisting cases to completion.
