The expression of gender and sexual orientation norms in the rehabilitation of detained juveniles

Abstract

This research focuses on how the expression of gender and sexual orientation norms interacts with the rehabilitation of minors in deprivation of liberty. It explores the manifestation of the social constructions related to these issues in detention centers for boys and girls in Bogota, Colombia. It highlights the tensions that exist between a non-discriminatory approach advocated by institutional policies versus an individualized and inclusive approach to the rehabilitation of minors.
