Literasi Hukum Anti-Bullying Berbasis KUHP Baru bagi Siswa di Negeri Ihamahu
Abstract
Bullying in school environments has become an increasingly serious issue among adolescents, with significant impacts on students’ psychological, social, and academic well-being. This study aims to strengthen students’ legal awareness of bullying through the socialization of the Indonesian Criminal Code (Law No. 1 of 2023) at SMP Negeri 43 Maluku Tengah, Negeri Ihamahu. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach using participatory observation, involving 211 students across grades 1 to 3. The activity was conducted in four stages: preparation, implementation of socialization, discussion and interaction, and evaluation. The results indicate that prior to the activity, many students perceived bullying as a normal social interaction. However, after the socialization, students demonstrated improved understanding that bullying—whether physical, verbal, social, or cyber—can have serious consequences and may constitute a criminal act under the new Criminal Code. The study also highlights the effectiveness of a restorative justice approach in fostering empathy, responsibility, and behavioral change among students. This research contributes by integrating anti-bullying education with legal literacy, providing a more comprehensive preventive strategy to create a safe and supportive school environment.
