Abstract

The current wave of globalization is getting stronger and has a bad impact on children. The growth of children today cannot be separated from the many bad influences of globalization that are not filtered properly so that many children fall into criminal acts that violate the law. Most children who are in conflict with the law must be expelled from formal schools because they are considered to be a bad influence on their friends. This phenomenon is a problem that cannot be ignored because education for children must be a priority for the government.
