Children are one of the legal subjects who have the potential to become victims of violence. Violence faced by children can be in the form of physical, psychological, sexual and neglect. Against these various types of violence, the Domestic Violence Law and the Child Protection Law can serve as the basis for criminalizing the perpetrators. In the Child Protection Law, even criminal sanctions against perpetrators of sexual violence against children are weighted for punishment. Furthermore, the law is equipped with additional penalties in the form of announcing the identity of the perpetrator, and action sanctions in the form of chemical castration and installation of electronic detection devices. However, efforts to overcome violence against children are not enough to rely on criminal sanctions. This is evidenced by the rise in the number of violence against children. Therefore, prevention efforts are needed through increasing understanding of the importance of making helping others a basic need of human life. So that each individual will always help and provide assistance to children who need help. The method of implementing this community service activity is carried out using the lecture, discussion and question and answer method at Loyola High School Semarang. The activity begins with material exposure regarding forms of violence, sanctions and prevention. After the presentation, there was a discussion session and a question and answer session regarding the material that had been presented. The results of the service implementation activities were obtained by understanding various information about child violence and its prevention.Anak menjadi selah satu subjek hukum yang berpotensi menjadi korban kekerasan. Kekerasan yang dihadapi oleh anak dapat berupa kekerasan fisik, psikis, seksual dan penelantaran. Terhadap berbagai kekerasan tersebut, UU KDRT dan UU Perlindungan Anak dapat menjadi dasar pemidanaan terhadap pelaku. Dalam UU PerlindunganAnak bahkan sanksi pidana terhadap pelaku kekerasan seksual terhadap anak terdapat pemberatan pemidanaan. Lebih lanjut dalam undang-undang tersebut dilengkapi pidana tambahan berupa pengumuman identitas pelaku, dan sanksi tindakan berupa kebiri kimia dan pemasangan alat pendeketksi elektronik. Namun upaya penanggulangan kekerasan terhadap anak tidak cukup hanya mengandalkan sanksi pidana. Hal ini terbukti dengan maraknya angkakekerasan terhadap anak. Oleh sebab itu, diperlukan upaya pencegahan melalui peningkatan pemahaman tentang pentingnya menjadikan menolong orang lain sebagai kebutuhan dasar hidup manusia. Sehingga setiap individu akan senantiasa menolong dan memberikan bantuan kepada anak yang membutuhkan bantuan. Metode pelaksanaan kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode ceramah, diskusi dan tanyajawab di SMA Kolese Loyola Semarang. Kegiatan diawali dengan paparan materi berkenaan dengan bentuk kekerasan, sanksi dan pencegahannya. Setelah paparan dilakukan sesi diskusi dan tanya jawab berkenaan dengan materi yang telah disampaikan. Hasil kegiatan pelaksanaan pengabdian diperolehnya pemahaman mengenai berbagai informasi seputar kekerasan anak dan pencegahannya.

Based on an ethnographic fieldwork carried out within the Brazilian Senate's inquiry committee on Pedophilia and in the Federal Police Department, the aim of this paper is to analyze the strategies and the effects of the conceptualization and the combat of the phenomenon of sexual violence against children as "pedophilia" and with focus on child pornography on the internet. The text consists of a historical approach to the emergence of the problem, an analysis of the political strategies of the Parliamentary Inquiry Committee on Pedophilia and an ethnographic description of the police investigations into child pornography on the internet. The hypothesis is that this "anti-pedophilia crusade" pivoting on the threats of a sexual perversion, is not as effective in the protection of the real child victims of violence as it is in the defense of an ideally innocent childhood.

Children are vulnerable to becoming victims of violence in both developing and developed countries. Various regulations were made to end violence against children. Semarang City Government seeks to protect children from violence through Regional Regulation Number 05 of 2016 and forming a child protection organization through Semarang Mayor Regulation Number 05 of 2018. Implementation of social reintegration for child victims of violence in Semarang City involves many stakeholders. This study aims to analyze the role of stakeholders and determine the inhibiting factors for the role of stakeholders. The method used is descriptive qualitative. The results of the research show that The Women Empowerment and Child Protection Regional Office play a role as a policy creator, implementor, coordinator, facilitator, and accelerator. PPT SERUNI, PPT Kecamatan, and Pos JPPA play a role as implementers, coordinators, facilitators, and accelerators. Regional Offices, Rumah Duta Revolusi Mental, hospitals, academic, and Bhabinkamtibmas play a role as facilitators and accelerators of child protection and social reintegration. The inhibiting factors for social reintegration in cases of violence against children include the community culture that discriminates against victims, limited reintegration budgets, trauma in victims that causes victims to be reluctant to return to school or return to social institutions, and regulations governing social reintegration are still weak. The recommendation conveyed is that the Office of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection conducts outreach on child protection services and educates schools and social institutions about preventing violence, the importance of recovery and reintegration for victims of violence. Increase the budget for child protection and collaborate with other stakeholders to finance the social reintegration of child victims of violence. Conduct regular counseling with the psychologist PPT SERUNI or RDRM. As well as passing new regulations that explain in detail social reintegration according to the needs of victims.
