Abstract: Street children are perennial problems in major urban areas of the country. This thesis is an exploratory study of the socio-economic conditions and other factors that prompted these street children to engage in prostitution and petty crimes. Interviews with them on the streets and in drop-in centers provide first hand information of their insights. The discussion in the succeeding chapters of this thesis traces the root cause of their involvement in prostitution and petty crimes from their need to survive. Both the economic and social factors observed are presented in this paper.
