Children in the Therapeutic State: Lessons for the Sociology of Deviance and Social Control

| Description | This chapter is not about children and their doings. Rather it is about the institutional process by which the troublesome child has been construed as a qualitatively distinct type of deviant in modern Western societies and about the implications of that process for theories about the role of inequality in the shaping of crime and social control. Work in the societal reaction tradition suggested that the rules defining various kinds of deviance and the organizations set up to do social control work play an important role in the shaping of deviant careers. It seems apposite, then, to move to a higher level of analysis and begin to analyze the origins of those rules and organizational systems. Research inspired by neoinstitutional theory has thoroughly revolutionized the sociological understanding of childhood and education, pushing aside functionalist accounts in favor of models that emphasize the role of the state in structuring the life course of individuals.
