In this study, researchers discuss how the implementation of policies to deal with street children in the city of Semarang and to investigate the obstacles in the process of implementation is. Based on the results of research conducted, the implementation of policies to deal with street children in the city of Semarang is not running optimally. Less than optimal implementation of this program can be seen from the results of program performance that has not been achieved as well as of the obstacles encountered, ie internal constraints implementing policies such as the problem of coordination between the implementing agencies, the resources both human resources and financial resources are not sufficient and also constraints of the target of the program itself, namely the social and economic conditions were less positive attitudes of the target group program goals.
