Abstract

This study aims to discover whether there are differences in juvenile delinquency due to father
absence. The absence covered in this study comprises the father's death, parental divorce, and the
demands to work away from home. This study was performed to 12-21 years old adolescents
who do not live together with their father. The measuring instrument used in this study was the
inclination scale of juvenile delinquency on the theory of planned behavior by Fishbein and
Ajzen. The data were quantitatively analyzed by using the Kruskal-Wallis. The results of the
analysis showed the significance level of 0.012<0.05, implying that there is an inclination of
juvenile delinquency among the subjects with father's death, parental divorce, and fathers
working away from home. In brief, it can be concluded that there is a significant difference
noticed in the three groups of father absence. Moreover, the level of delinquency in male
adolescents is higher than in female adolescents
