| Sumario: | Children always bring so much joy, happiness and laughter to one’s life. Unfortunately, they
were al
ways
being
the
target to abuse. The effects of child abuse are severe and long
-
lasting to the victims. While
recently Malaysia statistic has reported a sign
ificant increment of child abuse cases that have reported in
this country. The graph presents a steady growth of these cases without showing any sign of decrement.
The victim is only a child, who is innocent, powerless,
and incapable
to protect themselves
without any
help, care and support from people around themselves. Hence, this stud
y purposed to determine
the main
factors that contribute to child abuse cases in Malaysia. In this study, FAHP (Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy
Pr
ocess) are used to determine
the ma
in factors that contribute to the child abuse cases in Malaysia. The
data was collected from the official portal of the Department of Social Welfare, Ministry of Women,
Family and Community Development. The factors
used in this study
are family dispute, fo
llowed
boyfriend, unknown, financial problem, negligence of parents or guardian, illegitimate child, stepchild,
adopted child or preserved by others during childhood, alcoholic, gambler, drug addicts, abuser suffered
mental health problems, abuser was form
erly abused and others.
Three criteria consist of
perpetrators,
type of carer occupations and gender of the victim
are taken into consideration. The result shows
the
family dispute was determined as the main factors of child abuse compared to the other fac
tors.
This
finding is very important for the use of the
M
inistry of
W
omen,
F
amily and
C
ommunity
D
evelopment
responsible for the formulation of policies and guidelines on the development of children, women and
families in Malaysia.
This effort is expected to reduce the rate of child abuse in turn giving them a better
life.
