Abstract

Civics education is a subject that plays a crucial role in shaping national character, particularly in fostering social and moral awareness among adolescents. In the context of preventing juvenile delinquency, teachers act not only as instructors but also as mentors who instill national values and social responsibility. As educators, teachers are also expected to contribute to preventing deviant behavior among students, particularly Civics teachers who support the goal of becoming quality citizens. This article aims to analyze the role of Civics teachers in preventing juvenile delinquency through an approach to moral values, discipline, and character. This study uses a literature review method. A review of various scientific sources and relevant previous research was conducted. The results of the study indicate that teachers have a strategic position in shaping students' character and preventing deviant behavior through learning based on national and moral values.
