The Provincial Government (Pemprov) of DKI Jakarta has acknowledged\nthat cases of brawls between residents and students remain a serious\nchallenge that has not been fully resolved. Although various prevention\nand enforcement efforts have been made, the root causes of brawling are\nconsidered highly complex and involve many factors.<\/p>\n
Staf Khusus Gubernur DKI Jakarta Bidang Komunikasi, Chico Hakim, said\nbrawls cannot be solved by just one party. According to him, the issue\nis intertwined with social, environmental, and family factors, as well\nas external influences developing in urban society.<\/p>\n
\u201cBrawling is not a simple problem that can be tackled by just one\nparty. The root of the problem is complex and cross-sectoral,\u201d Chico\nsaid on Sunday (14\/6).<\/p>\n
He explained that a number of factors trigger brawls, including a\ncrisis of social space in densely populated urban areas, the influence\nof social media which often magnifies small conflicts into clashes, and\na lack of positive activities for teenagers outside school hours.\nAdditionally, the role of families and schools in character building for\nchildren is also deemed to need continuous strengthening.<\/p>\n
Chico also highlighted external influences in the form of provocation\nfrom outside parties and the still-easy access to sharp weapons often\nused in brawls.<\/p>\n
Therefore, Pemprov DKI believes that handling this issue must be\ncarried out in an integrated and sustainable manner. \u201cThis is not a new\nphenomenon, but the Pemprov will not stop seeking solutions and\nexecuting prevention and countermeasure programmes,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
To suppress the number of brawls, Pemprov DKI continues to strengthen\nmitigation measures through enforcement approaches, social sanctions,\nand guidance for students and teenagers. In the aspect of law\nenforcement, Pemprov DKI cooperates with Polda Metro Jaya and the\nregional police ranks to take action against brawling perpetrators.<\/p>\n
A number of perpetrators have been detained in various cases across\nJakarta, including those found carrying sharp weapons. \u201cThe legal\nprocess is underway, and we fully support law enforcement without\ndiscrimination,\u201d Chico asserted.<\/p>\n
It was recorded that 20 recipients of the Kartu Jakarta Pintar (KJP)\nhad their assistance rights revoked in 2025, increasing to 40 cases\nthroughout 2026. According to Chico, this step is part of guidance while\nalso providing a deterrent effect so that students do not repeat their\nactions.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, Pemprov DKI also prioritises preventive measures\nthrough interactive dialogues with students, education on the dangers of\nbrawling, strengthening extracurricular activities, and providing sports\nfacilities as a diversion for young people.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/brawls-remain-a-complex-issue-chico-mitigation-efforts-continuously-strengthened-1781430683", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
