Since a long time ago, our nation has been attacked by numerous cases
and crimes which are caused by teenagers or youths, such as rampant
kidnapping, raping, consumption of alcohol and drugs, free-sex, and many
more. However, the existence of violent motorcycle gangs and the
phenomenon of 'Cabe-Cabean' have recently attacked our nation and
increased the rate of public restlessness, as they appear and cause many
damages for both mentally and physically to their victims and our
society itself.

Violent motorcycle gangs are groups of
people, mostly consists of young males or high school students and are
led by one leader, which use to conduct a motor racing on public streets
in the middle of nights.Yet, it is not the only thing that they are
used to do. They also tend to disturb public comfort and convenience by
stealing properties of innocent riders who are not the members of their
gangs, hurting anyone who passed their territory, kidnapping and raping
young girls,damaging public places and facilities, and even killing
their victims of property-stealing. Indonesia's polices have tried to
reduce the number of motorcycle gangs which tend to do violent deeds by
arresting and imprisoning several big bosses of them and also the
members of the gangs. However, these ways have not succeeded yet in
tackling down and preventing the occurrence of the next same cases in
the future.

Besides violent motorcycle gangs, our
nation has been enlivened by the phenomenon of 'Cabe-Cabean' as well.
'Cabe-cabean' is the term that is used to name and call young females or
girls who tend to wear nasty, tight, and full-pressed-body clothes,
such as tank top and hot-pants in public areas. On its first appearance
and usage, this term is used to name the girls who are taking a role as a
queen bee or the material of bet in a motorcycle racing which is held
by motorcycle gangs. Thus, there is a big relation between this
phenomenon and our first issue about violent motorcycle gangs.

In
my previous statement, I state that those cases cause damages for both
mentally and physically to their victims and our society itself because
they break general and social norms especially the norms of decency and
divinity by betting somebody's self-esteem and harming innocent people.
They also cause morals depravity of Indonesian, traumatic attacks to
their victims,and higher restlessness of the society and other road
users.
To reduce and prevent the occurrence of the next same
cases in the future, Indonesian polices should have a deeper research to
know the root or main causes, beyond the conventional research of just
arresting and imprisoning the members of motorcycle gangs. Moreover,
the society should be much more aware and cautious of violent motorcycle
gangs by not going outside in the midnight. Then, every parents in
Indonesia should be very careful on guiding their children who are
reaching the teenager-age and having unstable principle of mind. So,
they would not be affected or influenced to be a part of motorcycle
gangs and also 'Cabe-Cabean' girls.
