Abstract
The article briefly describes the regime of welfare policy derived in the Nordic welfare ethos emerging from the 1960s. Certain ways of seeing and thinking, specific ways of acting and intervening, evolved from this ethos thus forming ‘subjects’ within juvenile criminal justice. The article then considers the changes in ways of governing during and after the 1990s deep economic recession. This brought a gradual move to a new type of governance and this transformation will be analysed. Of particular significance will be the impact of these changes on juvenile crime and child protection institutions. The article concludes with consideration of the significance and consequences of these changes on policy and practice within Finland.
