Abstract [en]

This thesis examines if there is any differences in how gender is produced in the Administrative Court’s application of care of young persons (special provisions) act. To do that, we’ve studied 40 judgements that all has the requirement “social destructive behavior”. A social destructive behavior means that the young’s behavior is considered to differ from the basic norms in the society. The deviant behavior may be that the young person socialize in inappropriate environments or through the behavior exposes the young’s health and development. The judgements we’ve been studying are from 2017 and 1996, because we want to see if the discourse has possibly changed over the past twenty years. We’ve used a qualitative method, the critical discursive analyze, to visualize power structures regarding the construction of gender. The thesis is based on the theories social constructionism, discourse analysis and gender theory. By using these method, theories and data, we can note that differences are made between gender and sexuality.
