Strategi Lembaga Pembinaan Khusus Anak dalam menyiapkan Re-Integrasi Sosial

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the strategies implemented by the LPKA in preparing social reintegration for Children in Conflict with the Law. The study employed a qualitative research method using purposive sampling techniques. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation involving correctional officers, social workers, ABH, and parents. The findings indicate that the social reintegration strategy is carried out through two main forms of rehabilitation, namely personality development and independence development. Personality development is implemented through counseling services, the provision of non-formal education, and strengthening family relationships. Meanwhile, independence development is conducted through vocational training, creative activities, entrepreneurship programs, and practical skill development such as hydroponic farming, barbering, furniture making training, and traditional dol music training. The study also found that the involvement of partner institutions plays an important role in supporting the rehabilitation process and enhancing children’s social readiness. Overall, the strategies implemented reflect the principles of rehabilitation, child protection, and restorative justice within the juvenile justice system, while also contributing positively to behavioral change, mental preparedness, and the social capabilities of ABH before returning to society.
