Abstract

In Semarang City, there are many children who experience exploitation. In 2019-2022, there were 229 street children in Semarang City. With the most in Central Semarang, namely as many as 111 people, 50 people in East Semarang, 42 people in West Semarang, 14 people in North Semarang, and the least in South Semarang, namely 12 people. The method in this research is qualitative with normative juridical research. The results of this study are that the sanctions given to beggars are limited in the form of verbal warnings which do not have a deterrent effect on beggars. Parents who claim to be the parents of the child they are carrying do not take any special action to deter parents from allowing and/or ordering their children to join begging, this is because there have been no criminal sanctions imposed so far.
