N2  - Drawing on the work of various researchers and on the findings of a recently published national survey on street children, this article first presents a contemporary and systematic review of the street children phenomenon in Brazil. It then turns to recommendations set forth by international experts in the field, particularly in search of ideas on how to make the Brazilian youth justice system more sensitive to, and more efficacious for, this population. Notwithstanding its focus on the Brazilian context, since street children are indisputably a global phenomenon, this article has an inherent universal appeal. <br><br>KEYWORDS: Juvenile justice; Juvenile delinquency<p />
