This study aims to analyze the policies and formulations of criminal law in tackling street children who commit crimes. The lack of realization of the state's responsibility for neglected children is due to the fact that the government system has not been running properly, and there is no strong desire from the government to take care of neglected children. The research uses a normative juridical approach (socio-legal research) as the basis for describing ideas.
