Peran Rumah Singgah Dinas Sosial Pemberdayaan Perempuan Dan Perlindungan Anak di Kabupaten Nganjuk

Abstract

The role of shelter homes managed by the Social Service in Nganjuk Regency is in providing protection and social services for individuals or families who need help, such as perpetrators of violence, abandoned children and people with mental disorders. Halfway houses are a safe place for those who need temporary protection. The halfway house functions as a place of rehabilitation, guidance and assistance aimed at restoring the behavior of perpetrators of violence and encouraging them to participate in social life. This research uses a case study method with a qualitative approach and data collection instruments, namely in-depth interviews with shelter home officers and other related parties. The research results show that halfway houses have a strategic role in providing psychosocial services, education and skills development for perpetrators. In addition, halfway houses work together with various parties, such as law enforcement agencies, health workers, and counselors, to create holistic solutions. Social service shelters play an important role in efforts to improve social behavior and create a more harmonious environment in Nganjuk Regency.
