Abstract

In the correctional system, children require not only legal solutions but also rehabilitation through guidance, education, and character building based on the values of religious moderation. However, the implementation of rehabilitation programs at the Lembaga Pembinaan Khusus Anak (LPKA) still faces structural obstacles, such as limited human resources, facilities, and infrastructure, and institutional capacity. This emphasizes the importance of a collaborative governance approach involving non-governmental actors to achieve more comprehensive and inclusive rehabilitation. This study aims to analyze the implementation of collaborative governance in an Islamic boarding school-based character-building program oriented towards strengthening religious moderation at the Class I LPKA Tangerang. The method used was a qualitative approach through interviews, observation, and document analysis. The results show that the collaboration between LPKA and the Maskanul Huffadz Islamic Boarding School can integrate resources, clarify institutional roles, and strengthen moderate, tolerant, and inclusive character education. This program increases children's participation in religious activities and their ability to read the Quran, and fosters attitudes of discipline, cooperation, and tolerance. These findings indicate that cross-sector collaboration is effective in strengthening social rehabilitation and internalizing the values of religious moderation.

Abstrak

Pada sistem pemasyarakatan, anak tidak hanya memerlukan penyelesaian hukum, tetapi juga rehabilitasi melalui pembinaan, pendidikan, dan penguatan karakter berbasis nilai-nilai moderasi beragama. Namun, pelaksanaan program rehabilitasi di Lembaga Pembinaan Khusus Anak (LPKA) masih menghadapi kendala struktural, seperti keterbatasan sumber daya manusia, sarana dan prasarana, serta kapasitas kelembagaan. Hal ini menegaskan pentingnya pendekatan collaborative governance yang melibatkan aktor non-pemerintah untuk mewujudkan rehabilitasi yang lebih komprehensif dan inklusif. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis implementasi collaborative governance dalam program pembinaan karakter berbasis pesantren yang berorientasi pada penguatan moderasi beragama di LPKA Kelas I Tangerang. Metode yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kualitatif melalui wawancara, observasi, dan analisis dokumen. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kolaborasi antara LPKA dan Pondok Pesantren Maskanul Huffadz mampu mengintegrasikan sumber daya, membagi peran kelembagaan, serta memperkuat pendidikan karakter yang moderat, toleran, dan inklusif. Program ini meningkatkan partisipasi anak binaan dalam kegiatan keagamaan, kemampuan membaca Al-Qur’an, serta membentuk sikap disiplin, kerja sama, dan toleransi. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa kolaborasi lintas sektor efektif dalam memperkuat rehabilitasi sosial serta internalisasi nilai-nilai moderasi beragama.
