Perkembangan zaman memicu peningkatan tindak kekerasan, termasuk terhadap anak, yang sering dilakukan oleh orang tua sendiri, baik secara fisik maupun verbal, dan berdampak serius pada psikologis anak. Anak sebagai generasi penerus bangsa memiliki hak untuk hidup, tumbuh, berkembang, dan dilindungi dari segala bentuk kekerasan sebagaimana diatur dalam Undang-Undang Perlindungan Anak. Namun, kasus kekerasan terhadap anak masih tinggi, terutama kekerasan seksual. Oleh karena itu, peran orang tua, masyarakat, dan aparat penegak hukum, khususnya kepolisian, sangat penting dalam upaya pencegahan dan penanggulangan, seperti yang dikaji dalam skripsi tentang peran Polresta Deliserdang dalam menanggulangi kekerasan fisik terhadap anak. Metode Penelitian ini dilakukan di Polresta Deli Serdang, dengan sifat deskriptif analisis menggunakan pendekatan yuridis normatif dan yuridis empiris. Teknik pengumpulan data mencakup penelitian lapangan dan kepustakaan, sedangkan analisis data dilakukan secara kualitatif dengan metode deduktif untuk memahami pelaksanaan hukum pidana dan peran Polres Deli Serdang dalam menanggulangi kekerasan fisik terhadap anak. Peran Polresta Deliserdang dalam Menanggulangi Kekerasan Fisik terhadap Anak berperan penting dalam mencegah dan menangani kekerasan terhadap anak sebagai pengayom masyarakat dan penegak hukum. Unit Pelayanan Perempuan dan Anak (Unit PPA) memberikan perlindungan dan penegakan hukum bagi korban. Kepolisian bertanggung jawab memelihara keamanan dan ketertiban, serta melindungi hak anak sesuai dengan undang-undang yang berlaku. Upaya yang dilakukan mencakup pendekatan represif, seperti penyelidikan dan penuntutan, serta pendekatan preventif melalui sosialisasi dan edukasi.

Secara keseluruhan, peran Polresta Deliserdang sangat penting dalam menjaga keamanan dan perlindungan anak. Polresta Deliserdang aktif menanggulangi kekerasan fisik terhadap anak dengan pendekatan hukum dan pencegahan, bekerja sama dengan berbagai pihak meski menghadapi hambatan sumber daya dan kesadaran masyarakat. Disarankan kepolisian meningkatkan pelayanan dan sinergi dengan pemerintah serta masyarakat untuk pencegahan dan sosialisasi perlindungan anak.

Abstract

The development of the era has triggered an increase in acts of violence, including against children, which are often carried out by parents themselves, both physically and verbally, and have a serious impact on children's psychology. Children as the next generation of the nation have the right to live, grow, develop, and be protected from all forms of violence as regulated in the Child Protection Law. However, cases of violence against children are still high, especially sexual violence. Therefore, the role of parents, society, and law enforcement officers, especially the police, is very important in prevention and handling efforts, as studied in the thesis on the role of the Deliserdang Police in overcoming physical violence against children. This research method was conducted at the Deli Serdang Police, with a descriptive analysis nature using a normative legal and empirical legal approach. Data collection techniques include field research and literature, while data analysis is carried out qualitatively with a deductive method to understand the implementation of criminal law and the role of the Deli Serdang Police in overcoming physical violence against children. The Role of the Deliserdang Police in Overcoming Physical Violence against Children plays an important role in preventing and handling violence against children as a protector of society and law enforcer. The Women and Children's Service Unit (PPA Unit) provides protection and law enforcement for victims. The police are responsible for maintaining security and order, as well as protecting children's rights in accordance with applicable laws. Efforts made include a repressive approach, such as investigation and prosecution, as well as a preventive approach through socialization and education. However, the Deliserdang Police face obstacles such as limited resources and low public awareness. To overcome this, they work together with related agencies and mediate in cases of family violence. Overall, the role of the Deliserdang Police is very important in maintaining the security and protection of children. The Deliserdang Police actively tackles physical violence against children with a legal and preventive approach, working together with various parties despite facing obstacles in resources and public awareness. It is recommended that the police improve services and synergy with the government and the community for the prevention and socialization of child protection.
