This work studies the images of children and youth in difficult family, social, and legal situations from the twenties to the eighties of the twentieth century in El Salvador. The study proceeds by examining criminological debates, editorial and op-ed positions on children, family, and education, as well as the establishment of correctional schools and other institutions charged with the treatment of neglected minors. It employs on newspapers, magazines, and the reports of public institutions as sources to explore the appearance, transformation, and development of public sensibilities to the life of the child and youth population, the laws, courts, schools, and observation centers, as well as the incorporation of professionals and specialized knowledges dedicated to the inquiry, diagnostics, and treatment of the “irregular minors” of El Salvador.
