DWI VIANITA ROSARI. S200140084. VIOLATION OF CHILDREN’S RIGHTS IN DAVE PELZER TRILOGY: A CHILD CALLED “IT”, THE LOST BOY, AND A MAN NAMED DAVE. TESIS. UNIVERSITAS MUHAMMADIYAH SURAKARTA. 2017

Studi terhadap pelanggaran anak telah difokuskan pada eksploitasi dan kekejaman kepada anak-anak yang melanggar konvensi hak anak dari Unicef. Peneliti menggunakan metode kualitatif dan trilogi yang ditulis oleh Dave Pelzer: A Child Called "It", The Lost Boy, dan A Man Named Dave sebagai objek penelitian. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah ada 10 jenis indikator yang ditemukan dalam trilogy, yaitu makanan yang tidak cukup, tempat yang tidak layak, keterbatasan sekolah, keterbatasan untuk bermain, terpisah dari orang tua, laranga untuk melakukan kegiatan budaya, abusif, eksploitasi, mengabaikan pendapat, dan tidak melindungi kelemahan anak. Penggambaran pelanggaran hak anak dalam studi ini adalah tentang penulisan karakter dan karakterisasi, pengaturan waktu, plot, point of view, dan gaya penulisan. Alasan Dave Pelzer menulis memoar adalah untuk menginformasikan ke lain bahwa ia merupakan salah satu anak yang telah mendapat kekerasan dari ibunya dan berharap untuk orangtua lain tidak melakukan itu kepada anak mereka. Kemudian, ia ingin masyarakat sadar bahwa pekerja sosial tidak semata untuk mendapatkan uang. Sebenarnya mereka bekerja untuk merawat anak-anak yang memiliki masalah dengan keluarga mereka.

xiv ABSTRACT

DWI VIANITA ROSARI. S200140084. VIOLATION OF CHILDREN’S RIGHTS IN DAVE PELZER TRILOGY: A CHILD CALLED “IT”, THE LOST BOY, AND A MAN NAMED DAVE. THESIS. MUHAMMADIYAH UNIVERSITY OF SURAKARTA. 2017

Study on Violation of the Children has focused on abusive and exploitation to the children that violate the children’s right convention by Unicef. The researcher uses qualitative method and the trilogy by Dave Pelzer: A Child Called “It”, The Lost Boy, and A Man named Dave as object. The results of this research are there are 10 kinds of violation, they are inadequate food, inapropriate shelter, limited access to school, limited acess to play, leisure and relax, separation from parent, prohibition of cultural activities, abusive, exploitation, disregarding what he think, unprotected weakness. The depiction of children’s right violation are creating character and characterization, creating setting of place , creating plot, creating point of view, and creating style. Then, the reason Dave Pelzer write the memoir is to inform to other that he is one of the child that had abused his mother and expect to other parent don’t do that to their child. Then, he wants public aware that social workers is not just to earn money. Actually they work to care the children that have problem with their family well.
