Abstract

In general, the occurrence of child mischief in the community environment, closely related to the contemporary reality faced by the child. One example of a distorted child's behavior is the sexual violence committed by children to children, where the condition is much encouraged by the ease of accessing porn film (Utari 2015), so the behavior of children who deviate or violate the law is basically not entirely a child's fault, children are more victims of environmental conditions that become embryo behavior (Utari, 2012). That the same understanding with the above study of Erin Muller's study: Let the Burden Fit the Crime: Extending Proportionality Review to Sex Offenders suggests that: In 1994 and 2006, following a national dialogue about crimes against children sparked by several high-profile incidents, Congress passed two laws requiring states to register and regulate sex offenders residing within their borders.1 States and municipalities soon caught on, and deepened restrictions. In the last five years alone, local governments have forbidden sex offenders to live within 2,000 feet of schools;2 “be” within 500 feet of parks or movie theaters;3 enter public libraries;4 drive buses or taxis;5 photograph or film minors;6 and use social networking websites like Facebook (Yale law Journal V: 123 , Nomor 5, Maret 2014) Child misbehavior that occurs in various regions in Indonesia is basically also closely related to various institutions of social control, both formal and informal, which is not able to reduce the incidence of such events (Utari, 2012) Meanwhile the frequency of child mischief from time to time tend to increased, has generated much restlessness and tension in society. Through research with the approach of criminology, can reveal the background of the happening of child delinkuen behavior and the relation between social bond element to child delinquency / delinkuen, and finally will be concluded the theoretical concept of criminology which is appropriate in discussing child mischief in society. The results of this study is a knowledge that can be used as a reference for learning materials and criminology studies for the subjects of criminology course.
