Acts of violence against women are a very important event in male-female relationships. This occurs as a result of the subordination and marginalization of women in the relationship. Often also the women who are affected by two gus from the violence that hit him. In addition to physical, mental, material, women are also less served to complain about the suffering experienced equally. Therefore, the police agency as a protector, protector, and servant of the community, including for women, it is appropriate to provide maximum service with certain specificities, handling cases of violence against women.

The relationship between men and women in various aspects of life often gives rise to conflicts of violence. This happens when one party imposes the will on the other, while the other party does not approve of it. Although acts of violence can occur between the two reciprocally, as persecuted or persecuted, women are more likely to be victims. This means that violence mostly refers to women committed by men, rather than the other way around. At various events, women are more committed to being victims of violence. Although not a natural, but the culture of Indonesian society constructs the dominance of men over women.

In the format of patriachat society, men tend to be "rulers" of women, in all aspects of life; starting from relationships, work, social relations, to relationships in household life. Women are placed in a position of helplessness, accepting the condition of dependence on men, relying on men. While men are positioned as leaders, rulers, controllers, who must be obeyed by women.

In addition to cultural issues, stronger male physical also contributes to the occurrence of violence against women. Although this country is a land of laws, where the rule of law is upheld and applies fairly to all people regarding sex, the reality in society shows that women are still more persecuted by men, victims of violence committed by men.

The preliminary survey conducted at the Integrated Service Center of Bayangkara Semarang Hospital, showed data that in the span of 2 years, namely from November 2002 to November 2004, there were reports of violence as many as 159 cases. Of these cases, most were acts of violence against women both adults and children, and a small percentage were acts of violence against boys, and none of the acts of violence against adult men by women. Quantitatively obtained the following data; physical violence 43, physical violence against children 15, sexual violence 12, sexual violence against children 35, domestic violence 45 cases, violence psikhissemua which is 159. Likewise in the case of Domestic Violence (KDRT), all of the victims are women by men.

National data shows that most of the victims of domestic violence are wives and children. National data shows 75% of domestic violence victims are wives, while child victims reach 23.1%. In contrast, most domestic violence perpetrators are men, such as husbands, fathers, nephews, cousins, uncles, in-laws, sons, and employers (Suara Merdeka, December 29, 2004).

Related to the characteristics of violence against women that contain the very private humanitarian side of the victim, the handling of law enforcement must also consider and accommodate these interests. The first-level law enforcement authorities who are expected to conduct investigations, investigations, until the making of news events are police.

On the basis of the above issues, this article examines two things. First, the pattern of handling acts of violence against women carried out by police in the Semarang Polwiltabes neighborhood. Second,what factors are inhibiting the handling of violence against women carried out by the police in polwiltabesSemarang.

Thevinition of violence against women can be found in article 1 of the Declaration on the Elimination of Violence against Women, that, violence against women is every act based on the distinction of the type.

genitals that result in or may result in physical, sexual or pshicological suffering or suffering, including threats of acts, coercion or robbery of arbitrary independence, such as those that occur in public or in private life (Wahid 2001:32)

With regard to violence against women, Harkristuti Harkrisnowo quotes Schuler as defining violence against women as any violence directed at women only because they are women (anyviolent act perpetrated on women because they are women) (Martha 2003:23).

Two theories that are often used in describing the causes of violence against women are as follows.

First,the Theory of Subculture proposed by M. Wolfgang and F. Ferracuti. The assumptions raised bywolfgang apply to the behavior of violent crimes against women. Generally, this form of violence offered by Wolfgang occurs in society (based on the structure and pattern of socio-economic relations) which displays dominance and injustice through complex social prosPs, thus allowing attitudes and behaviors that support violence. In certain cultured societies, violence against women in general is caused by the tendency of behavior that arises in the culture of the society that still considers women as "conco wingking". Women should be in the position of "nrimo" in the form of attitudes and attitudes that he accepts as a form of devotion, including surrender in the event of violence against him.

Second, social control theory. This theory basically explains that morality and morality are variables that are spread unevenly among humans related to the association of life, there will be four elements of association that will be further developed(1) Attachment or bonding, (2) Commitmentor attachment in conventional subsystems,(3) Involvement or active functioning in conventional subsystems. (4) beliefs or believe in the moral values of nonna-norms and the values of living association.

Of the two theories mentioned above, the theoretical framework used in this study is the theory of social control put forward by Travis Hirschi. The assumptions offered are relevant and relevant to the emergence of forms of criminal behavior against women.

Furthermore, regarding the form of violence against women; Harkristuti Harkrisnowo in Aroma ElminaMartha (2003: 35) suggests several forms of physical violence, (2) sexual violence, (3) psychological violence, (4) economic violence.

While in the Declaration on the Elimination of Violence against Women formulated forms of violence against women (article2) include (1) physical, sexual and pshikological violence that occurs in the family; insanity, sexual abuse of women in the household, dowry-related violence, marital rape, destruction of female genitalia and other traditional practices against women, violence outside of marital relationships and violence related to exploitation, and (2) physical, sexual and psychological violence that occurs in society at large including rape, sexual abuse, harassment and sexual threats at work, in educational institutions and so on, women trafficking and forced prostitution (Katjasungkana 2001:81).
