Gambaran Profil Remaja Pelaku Kekerasan Seksual

The increasing prevalence of sexual violence has caused unrest in the community, especially since some perpetrators were still classified as teenagers. This study aimed to understand the profile of teenage perpetrators of sexual violence. The technique for selecting respondents in this study used purposive sampling, involving a total of 2 subjects who were adolescent perpetrators of sexual violence violating Article 81, paragraph 1 of Law No. 35 of 2014. It included 4 informants who were close friends of the respondents. This research used a qualitative case study method, with data collection techniques that included interviews, observations, and documentation. The credibility test in this study employed triangulation. The results of this study indicated that the profile of teenage perpetrators of sexual violence had an educational background of elementary and middle school and came from broken home families with low economic conditions. The broken home condition led to a lack of attention for the child, prompting them to seek outlets outside the home and subsequently get involved in negative peer influences, resulting in conformity and juvenile delinquency. Both teenage perpetrators of sexual violence had habits of watching pornographic videos, alcohol addiction, a tendency to engage in sexual relations, and an inability to control their urges, which was exacerbated by inadequate parental supervision, low morals, and religious internalization, as well as a lack of sex knowledge, thus triggering acts of sexual violence.
