Family and Local Elites as a Social Control for Children Deviation in Sungaiselan Village Central Bangka District

Abstract

Deviant behavior can be defined as behavior that violates or is
contrary to the normative rules of the social environment concerned.
Deviation is often done by adolescents to adults, but nowadays
children also often do it. Sungaiselan Atas Village is one of the areas
where children often perform deviant behaviors for children of their
age, namely drinking alcohol and gluing. The purpose of this study
was to identify the causes of children in Sungaiselan Village to deviate
and to determine the social control of the family and local elites of
Sungaiselan Village in overcoming children's behavior. This study
uses Containment Theory from Walter C. Reckless. The method used
in this research is descriptive qualitative. The data sources of this
research are divided into two, namely primary data sources and
secondary data sources. The data analysis techniques used by
researchers were data reduction, data display, and conclusion
drawing. The results of this study found that the factors that cause
children to deviate are lack of attention from their parents, lots of free
time, and a friendly environment. In addition, social control from the
family and local village elites was also found, namely repressive and
preventive measures.
