The Community Knowledge of Violence Against Children

Abstract

This study shows that people's knowledge on violence against children is limited to knowing and understanding toward the victims of violence against children. The knowledge of the community has not yet applied as a reference to assess and analyze the environmental behavior towards children as behaviors that can trigger violence against children. Knowing that the knowledge and understanding on the violence against children is still low, even some do not know and do not care; therefore it is very logical that their affection for violence against children is still low, even the community has not participated to withstand the increase in cases of violence against children, even though the attitudes and behavior of the community are expected to reduce the level of violence in children.
