Abstrak

This study aims to analyze the role of Islamic religious instructors in minimizing the culture of physical violence (carok) in solving problems. Through phenomenological qualitative methods, the researcher tries to uncover the factors of cultural behavior that seem to legitimize the culture of violence in resolving social conflicts in the Madurese community. The results of the study found that the word Carok is a word that is attached to the Madurese community, this cannot be separated from the history and geographical conditions of Madura which is surrounded by oceans and barren land conditions. Carok is often done with the aim of maintaining self-respect, especially when entering the realm of women or the wife is seduced by other men, Madura's motto will come out "Angok poteh tolang tenembeng poteh matah (better white bones than white eyes)". The motto continues to be passed down to posterity and even the event often arises from the support of a large family. The role of extension workers is needed to minimize carok culture, of course with various methods that can be accepted by them, namely by a persuasive approach through religious leaders, traditional and cross-sectoral figures such as the police and Koramil.
