This article provides a framework for understanding and substantiates assumptions as to the gender differential treatment of adolescents in criminal justice.

The challenge is therefore to describe in its most concrete aspects the production and reproduction of gender norms and its effects on the institutional careers of adolescents. ; International audience ; This article provides a framework for understanding and substantiates assumptions as to the gender differential treatment of adolescents in criminal justice.
