Abstract

This paper analyses the background, legal nature, constitutionality and regulation of the measure of residential care for minors with behavioural problems. The close relationship of the figure with the measure of internment for minors responsible for a crime and the characteristics of its regulation bring it closer to a measure aimed more at the neutralisation of troublesome minors than a true mechanism for the integration and education of minors, therefore that, after the analysis, the study incorporates recommendations for the legal approach to this specific and complex problem of children and adolescents in social difficulty.
