Abstract

The lethal fighting sprees in suburban and rural youth that peaked in the late 2000s in Indonesia have had a significant impact on communities that may have previously felt insulated from youth violence as well as on the nation as whole. Some researchers have concluded, however, more comprehensive in scope. This research explores selected spiritual value factors that research has indicated may play an important protective role in strenghening resilience in young people and minimizing at-risk behavior that may be associated with adolescents' violence in Indonesia. A number of researcher have found that adolescents who score high on measures of spirituality or religiosity arre less likely than their peers to engage in violent or other antisocial behavior (Benda & Corwyn, 2002). Spirituality, defined by Kelly (1995) as a personal affirmation of a transcendent connectedness in the Universe. In this research, we review the professional literature regarding selected spiritual factors as they perrtain to adolescents and at-risk behavior and consider these factors,might use these factors to treat the youth violence either in prison or in community. We use these factors to treat the adolescents from different place in Jawa Tengah, who were sentebced more than 3 months in Kutoarjo adolescents'prison. Result: there was the important role of spirituality toward aggressive behavior in prison. Keyword: spirituality, aggressive behavior, prison
