PERAN PEMBIMBING KEMASYARAKATAN DALAM MENDUKUNG PROSES DESISTANCE FROM CRIME PADA KLIEN RESIDIVIS DI BALAI PEMASYARAKATAN KELAS I MEDAN
Abstract
Recidivism challenges social reintegration and highlights the need for continuous guidance and social support. This study examines the role of Community Counselors in supporting desistance from crime among recidivist clients at Bapas Class I Medan and identifies supporting and inhibiting factors. A descriptive qualitative case study involved five informants: the Head of Bapas, two Community Counselors, one active recidivist client, and the chair of the Insan Residivis Foundation/Pokmas Lipas. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, non-participant observation, and document study and analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña. Interview findings describe roles in personality and self-reliance guidance, identifying factors associated with reoffending, maintaining guidance, involving family, and connecting clients with productive activities and employment. Supporting factors include willingness to change, family and community support, BINTER, and the foundation. Constraints include limited time and funds, restricted visits, difficulty contacting clients, stigma, and limited partner capacity. The study emphasizes individualized, continuous guidance and collaboration; it does not measure program effectiveness or establish long-term desistance.
