Responding to the phenomenon of teenage brawls which became a bad trend, Central Jakarta Metro Police Chief Kombes Komarudin emphasized that the main factor of brawling between youth groups was due to poor interaction factors in their environment. "There are many factors that influence brawls, social gap factors are sometimes also not one of the main factors. Why? Because sometimes those involved in brawls are also from among children. (the main cause of brawls) I prefer to the association factor. The association is that young people's language is now looking for personal identity," said Kombes Komarudin when confirmed by VOI, Thursday, July 13. Social inequality factors as the trigger of brawls between youth groups has now shifted. The main cause of the youth brawl, mostly due to the impact of wrong associations.
