Summary
Written by AI, not yet AICS's view · claude-haiku-4-5-20251001This study evaluates the Integrated Community-Based Child Protection Program (PATBM) in Serang City, Indonesia, which was established to address the rising number of reported child violence cases. The program achieved an average effectiveness rate of 80%, but implementation remained suboptimal. Key barriers included limited competency among program activists and low community participation in the initiative.
Key points
- The PATBM program demonstrated a relatively high level of effectiveness with an average achievement rate of 80%
- Despite the program's establishment, Serang City continued to record a steady rise in child violence cases over five years
- Limited competency among PATBM activists was identified as a primary constraint on effectiveness
- Community participation in the program remained relatively low
- The program's implementation was suboptimal despite its conceptual effectiveness
Limitations
The document does not specify the research methodology details, sample size, comparison groups, or how the 80% effectiveness rate was measured. It does not clarify whether rising reported cases reflect actual increase in violence or improved reporting and awareness.
Abstract
Serang City has experienced a continuous increase in reported cases of child violence since 2019. In response, Regional Regulation (Perda) No. 7 of 2013 concerning the Protection of Women and Children was enacted to establish specific policy measures addressing violence against children within the region. To strengthen the implementation of this regulation, the Serang City Government introduced the Integrated Community-Based Child Protection (PATBM) program. Despite the existence of this initiative, the city has continued to record a steady rise in child violence cases over the past five years. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the PATBM program in addressing child violence in Serang City. Employing a quantitative research approach, the findings indicate that the PATBM program demonstrates a relatively high level of effectiveness, with an average achievement rate of 80%. However, the implementation of the program remains suboptimal. This is primarily due to limited competency among PATBM activists, indicating the need for further capacity-building and training. In addition, community participation in the program remains relatively low, which further constrains its overall effectiveness.
