Abstract

Violence against women and children (KTPA) is a serious problem that can have long-term impacts on the physical and psychological health of women and children. In Semarang City, there were 74 cases, 72 of which were female victims. Delays in case reporting can cause difficulties in finding evidence during examination because biological evidence will be lost over time. The aim of this research is to identify factors that influence delays in reporting cases of violence against women and children in Semarang City. This research was conducted using mixed-method embedded study approach on KTPA victims in Semarang City who were listed in the Seruni Integrated Service Center (PPT Seruni) data in 2022. In-depth interviews were conducted to support the discussion. Research informants were included if they were female, aged less than 18 years with a reporting period of more than than 24 h since the incident. There were 9 people who were determined using purposive sampling. Data collection was carried out using questionnaires followed by in-depth interviews to enrich the discussion. Quantitative data is analyzed through verification, tabulation and data percentage stages. The results of this research show that 4 out of 6 perpetrators of violence are internal victims. The majority of victims reported KTPA actions through DPPA Semarang. Several factors that influence the delay in reporting cases of violence against women and children in Semarang City are internal factors in the form of personal and family factors, as well as external factors in the form of other people and ongoing legal process.
