Summary/Abstract: The article analyzes the institutional construction of delinquent and problematic childhood behavior in the Bulgarian context through a synthesis of Foucauldian theory of power and the new sociology of childhood. It examines how legal and institutional regimes shape three analytical child positions: socially accepted behavior, delinquent behavior, and institutionalized delinquency. Delinquency is understood as a socially produced position within a continuum of care, control, and sanction, as well as in terms of the tension between institutional regulation and limited child agency.
