<![CDATA[Rising cases of youth brawls prompted Class I Correctional Supervision Center (Bapas) of Semarang to develop a preventive program that positions parents as primary supervisors within the home environment, consistent with Social Control Theory, which emphasizes the importance of family social bonds in preventing deviant behavior. This study aims to identify the role of parents in preventing juvenile delinquency and the factors that hinder this role in the implementation of the Sanak Bassama program. A descriptive qualitative approach with a case study design was employed, involving seven informants representing parents, Community Correctional Counsellors, the Head of the Child Client Guidance Section, and partner schools. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation at three program-implementing schools, and documentation studies of official Bapas activity reports, then analyzed with the aid of NVivo 12. The findings indicate that parental roles have been carried out reasonably well across four elements of social bonding, namely Attachment, Commitment, Involvement, and Belief, with the Sanak Bassama program making a tangible contribution to strengthening parental knowledge and skills. Identified inhibiting factors include parental work Commitments, children's reluctance to communicate openly, limited institutional capacity within Bapas, inter-agency coordination challenges, and facility limitations at some partner schools.]]>
