ABSTRACT

The topological map of educational systems can be standardized to a remarkable degree, while the interactions within and between levels can differ to an equally remarkable degree. Like the career of autopoiesis in biology, which expanded on both theoretical and empirical dimensions, the notion of self-reproducibility likewise expanded in both fronts in sociology, but in a particular environment: education. One of the structural couplings that sustain general educational systems, and the secondary level specifically, is the structural link to Juvenile Justice. Popular schooling and youthful delinquency have historically been intertwined, organizationally, legal and pedagogically. Although scholars have proposed models of juvenile justice that range in number, the key task is to identify the models that best fit the Forms of Benevolence. Philip Reichel advanced four models that adhere to this requirement. The chapter presents Reichel's models and their parallel to the Forms of Benevolence.
