Abstract
This study aimed to investigate how gender is constructed by the court in court orders regarding the Care of Young Persons (Special Provisions) Act. We wanted to draw attention to how gender discourses were used to describe the norm-breaking behaviors of boys and girls. To do this we used the method of discourse psychology and the empirical material consisted of 32 court orders with an even distribution of the genders boys and girls. We found different ways in which the genders were described which resulted in three major categories and within these categories we found the gender discourses of the good girl and the naughty boy.
