International Journal of Management Science and Business Administration, 2017, vol. 3, issue 5, 44-49 Abstract: The rising of commercial sex workers or prostitutes requires the government todevelop policies and implement a countermeasure that are comprehensive and integrated, both law enforcement to reduce the supply (supply reduction) as well as a welfare approach to suppress and overcome the rate of the number of prostitutes in Indonesia. In reality, all the attempts to overcome the issue remain difficult to achieve an optimal result. The problem lies in the limited range and ability of government, and in addition to the complexity of the issue surrounding prostitution. One of the government policy in prostitution problem is to enter the prostitutes who caught in raids that conducted by the government into social institutions that will rehabilitate prostitutes into a new person. The rehabilitation process conduct through for 3-6 months after the raids, a series of rehabilitation activities are aimed at restoring WBS into a normative life and livelihood in the community, either within the family, community, or the lanes of employment and entrepreneurship. Generally, a rehabilitation center has policy programs in the form of the preparation stage, the planting and control awareness stage, the expansion of knowledge stage, the channeling and directing stage, the monitoring stage, and the evaluation stage. These programs certainly expected to change the concept of self and create normative life and prevent them to return to their former job. But in fact, prostitutes who have completed various rehabilitation programs and has been out of rehabilitation center most likely returned to become prostitutes. This means, the purpose of the implementation of the policy program have not reached its full potential. It can be caused by a policy program that has not been implemented properly or even not run at all.
