Abstract

This study aims to examine the escalation of violence in youth brawls in Jakarta, especially the use of acid as a weapon. Using a literature review method of scientific articles, media reports, and policy documents, this study highlights the factors that drive the transformation of violence to become more extreme. The results of the study indicate that weak regulations on the distribution of chemicals, the role of social media as a medium of provocation, and minimal early intervention are the main factors. Acid is used not only to injure, but also as a symbol of power in inter-group conflicts. On the other hand, social media has the potential to be a means of anti-violence campaign if managed positively. This study recommends a collaborative cross-sectoral approach through regulation, education, and digital literacy to reduce youth violence sustainably.
