Fiat Justisia: Jurnal Ilmu Hukum
The presence of children who live on the streets has caused concern in various cities in Indonesia, especially Makassar, South Sulawesi. Lack of education, decent life, and government attention trigger street children to do unlawful acts, such as drugs and drinking. From a criminological perspective, the phenomenon of street children can be explained using the social learning theory. Social learning theory is a convergence between differential association theory with general behavioural principles, which in this theory explains that criminal behaviour can be obtained from environmental influences. There is a reciprocal interaction that directs a person’s behaviour. This study aims to determine the description of street children’s existence in the city of Makassar, analyse the factors that cause the phenomenon of street children, and determine the prevention of street children.

Problems of street children, A Sociological Study of Urban Sindh Ph D Thesis By: Dr. Ameer Ali Abro
Once a child leaves the family homefor whatever reasonto live on the street, he is labeled as a street child. Despite the absence of authentic surveys, the number of street children in urban sindh is estimated to be no less than 50,000. Street children are the causalities of economic woes, war, poverty, loss of traditional values, domestic violence and physical and psychological abuses. They seldom have a choice in becoming a straw in the windand going to school is always out of question. For kicks, these young souls turn to narcotics or to sniffing rubber solvent. Many street children gather money by begging, selling flowers, washing cars, shoe-shining, working in small hotels, selling water and newspapers or other items or via prostitution, receiving only a small cut from the money that gets collected. The city police, especially the traffic police cops, also share their earnings. Then there are the Afghan kids, who pick plastic, glass, metal and other knick-knack from the garbage thrown out on the streets, and sell them to the shopkeepers. The street children usually conclude the day"s activity by indulging in sex in dark corners or other hidden places and then go back to their dera, where they eat and sleep. The street children usually form groups to secure themselves from exploitation and abuse, which is common. Several institutions, National and International organisations have conducted research on the street children of Pakistan. But Pakistan Government has not shown any significant progress in tackling the issue. The performance of Government shows that neither our legislators nor administrators have taken any effective or viable steps to root out the crimes linked to street children. Undoubtedly, the media can play a much greater role to help send street children to school, instead of leaving them to the vagaries of the crime world, and in the hands of abusers.

A Scenario of Street Children in Ludhiana City
2014
Children live and work on the street because their parents are poor, they are orphans, or they have run away from home, often to escape abuse. They are invariably malnourished, receive scant education and medical treatment, and are involved in child labour from an early age. The term street children refer to children for whom the street has become their real home. They are not necessarily being homeless or without families, but live in situations without protection, supervision, or direction from responsible adults. Street children face difficulties in providing themselves with good sources of food, clean drinking water, health care services, toilets and bath facilities, and adequate shelter. They also suffer from absence of parental protection and security; there is a lack of any kind of moral and emotional support. There are a number of factors that lead children to living on the street. One root cause that has been identified is poverty. Problems faced by street children are overwhelming. In addition to living and working in environments that are generally harmful to their well-being, street children face problems such as hunger, lack of adequate shelter, clothes, and other basic needs, as well as lack of (or limited) educational opportunities, health care, and other social services.
