ABSTRACT

Violent behavior committed by fellow students in the university
environment is still very common. It is from these violent cases that it will
generate perceptions for other students. Therefore this study aims to find out how
the perceptions of Palembang City students on reporting cases of violence in the
university environment. The research method used is descriptive qualitative. For
data collection itself, of course, with Observations, Interviews, and
Documentation. The results of the research show that students have their own
perceptions, but as students, of course, they do not agree with the existence of acts
of violence in the university environment. Where students stated that problems
could be solved properly and without violence.
Based on the results of the research that has been described previously
and based on the formulation of the problem, how do students in the city of
Palembang perceive cases of violence in the university environment, in general,
students know about cases of violence that occurred in the university environment,
where there were students who saw firsthand the incidents of violence and there
are also those who know only from social media. After learning about cases of
violence that occurred in the campus environment, students thought they did not
agree with acts of violence. In general, both students who directly saw incidents
of violence or students who only heard reports of violence cases in the university
environment did not agree that there was violence. It can be concluded that in the
scope of the university it is generally used to add insight and explore deeper
knowledge in certain fields according to student interests because at an age that
is no longer young as a student, of course, it can solve problems without having to
commit acts of violence. After conducting research on student perceptions both
based on experience, selective, predictive, evaluative, and contextual, the results
are that students give disapproving responses to cases of violence in the campus
environment.
