Abstract

This study aims to sociologically analyze the dynamics of juvenile delinquency in Pandu Village, Manado, by situating the phenomenon within the broader structure of social relations that shape adolescents’ lives. Drawing on social control theory and the concept of collective efficacy, this research employs a qualitative case study design to examine how informal social institutions regulate deviant behavior. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and field observations and were analyzed thematically to identify patterns of social interaction influencing adolescent behavior. The findings indicate that juvenile delinquency cannot be understood merely as an individual problem, but rather as a reflection of the configuration of local social structures. Three major findings emerged. First, strengthened family-based social control—through emotional attachment, open communication, and moral exemplification—serves as the primary protective mechanism. Second, the institutionalization of religious values functions as a moral foundation within the community, reinforcing the legitimacy of social norms. Third, local social cohesion fosters collective supervision, thereby limiting opportunities for anonymity and deviant conduct. The integration of these three dimensions forms a relatively stable and resilient informal social control system against delinquency risks. This study reinforces the relevance of social control theory and collective efficacy within the context of local Indonesian communities. Practically, the findings suggest that preventing juvenile delinquency is more effective when focusing on strengthening family institutions, revitalizing religious participation, and enhancing community solidarity rather than relying solely on punitive approaches. However, this study is limited to a single-site qualitative case; therefore, future research employing comparative or mixed-method designs is recommended to test the consistency of these findings across different social contexts, including communities with higher levels of urbanization and social disorganization.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the empowerment of women survivors of domestic violence carried out by the Women’s Empowerment and Child Protection Agency (DP3A) of Samarinda City. Empowerment is considered a crucial step in rebuilding survivors’ independence, self-confidence, and quality of life. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. Informants were selected using purposive sampling and consisted of domestic violence survivors as the main informants, the head of the women’s empowerment division as key informants, and staff of the Regional Technical Implementation Unit for Women and Child Protection (UPTD PPA) as supporting informants. The findings show that empowerment is implemented through three main approaches: enabling, empowering, and protecting. The enabling approach includes providing information, counseling services, education on domestic violence, and complaint facilities to build survivors’ awareness and courage. The empowering approach involves skills training, business capital assistance, strengthening economic capacity, and facilitating equivalency education to increase survivors’ independence. Meanwhile, the protecting approach includes the provision of safe houses, legal protection, psychological assistance, and cross-institutional collaboration to ensure victims’ safety and recovery. These programs contribute to improving survivors’ self-confidence, economic independence, and psychosocial resilience. However, the implementation still faces challenges such as limited budgets, a shortage of professional personnel, and persistent social stigma. This study concludes that the enabling, empowering, and protecting model implemented by DP3A Samarinda has produced positive impacts, although further strengthening is needed to ensure optimal and sustainable implementation.

Abstract

The sustainability of traditional medicine practices amid the expansion of modern biomedical systems is an important issue in health sociology studies. Among migrant students in Makassar City, traditional medicine practices continue to be used, even though they live in an urban environment with broad access to formal medical services. This study aims to analyze how traditional medicine practices are constructed, interpreted, and reproduced in the lives of migrant students in the modern era. This study uses a qualitative approach, including in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. The study's results yield four main findings. First, the role of the family is central in shaping the continuity of traditional medicine practices through socialization and habits ingrained since childhood. Second, students demonstrate practical rationality in choosing treatment by comparing the effectiveness, cost, and healing experiences of formal medical services and traditional medicine. Third, the subjective dimension of illness interpretation shows that some illnesses are understood within a non-biomedical framework that includes spiritual aspects and inner experiences. Fourth, the reproduction of traditional medicine traditions occurs through family relationships, social networks, and digital mediation, which enable these practices to remain alive in a modern urban context. These findings indicate that traditional medicine is not merely a residual practice but rather the result of social constructions continuously negotiated in the lives of migrant students.

Abstract

Multicultural attitudes among academics constitute a crucial topic in the field of education. Understanding the impact of multiculturalism on student learning is essential for fostering an inclusive and equitable educational environment in Indonesia, a country characterized by diverse ethnicities, religions, and cultures. This study examines students’ multicultural attitudes toward diversity in the classroom within the Sociology Education Study Program at Universitas Negeri Manado. The research employs a qualitative approach, using interviews, observations, and documentation to collect relevant information on the implementation of multicultural education among students. The findings indicate that multicultural education plays a significant role in developing students’ tolerance, acceptance, and harmony toward diversity. The study also reveals that students who internalize multicultural attitudes demonstrate greater understanding and appreciation of different cultures, languages, and traditions. This understanding contributes to a more inclusive and harmonious classroom environment, where students are able to collaborate and learn from one another.
