Abstract

This thesis is entitled the phenomenon of violence committed by parents on children in households in housing X and surrounding Pematangsiantar city. In this study, the author wants to see why violence is committed by parents on children in the household and see why violence often occurs to children even though child protection laws and domestic violence laws have been formed. The method used in this study is descriptive with a qualitative approach. Informant determination using Purposive sampling technique by interviewing 16 informants, consisting of 11 key informants and 5 additional informants and presenting data refers to the concept of violent reproduction. The results showed that the process of reproduction of violence runs through the practices of the way parents care for their children in the house. Parents often commit violence in the process of caring for and disciplining their children. The author found two types of violence used, namely first, physical violence such as hitting, pinching and hitting with blunt objects. Second, verbal abuse such as yelling and speaking with harsh words when reprimanding a child. The process of reproduction of violence in caring for children is due to several factors, namely first, the cycle of violence. Second, a wrong understanding of how to discipline the child. Third, the influence of the family's social environment can influence the production of violence in caring for children. Fourth, the lack of knowledge of parents in caring for their children in the home that uses violence as one of the ways taken in reprimanding or overcoming children's bad behavior. Fifth, the lack of economic parents. In this study, most parents are already aware of the Child Protection Law and the Domestic Violence Law and are aware that their treatment in the process of caring for children is considered to be an act of violence, but parents consider that the actions taken are the right actions in caring for their children in the household as long as it is not excessive. In the results of this study, it was found that violence in housing X and its surroundings has decreased compared to existing cases of violence in Indonesia and from the results of previous studies.
