To accomplish the goal of the essay, former science in the subject was reported and six social workers within social services were interviewed. The material of the interviews was analyzed with help from the theory of human service organizations, street-level bureaucrats work situation and the new institutionalism.
The result of the investigation showed that the social workers choices to place young people in institutions is guided by specific work and organizational factors connected with a belief in the helping function of the surroundings. In a broader spectrum, the investigation shows that the effort of institutional placement was being used as a concrete and taken for granted solution. The social workers, social services and other action takers in the youth's environment were deciding this method to handle young people with behavioural problems independent of what the science is showing.
