Résumé :
ENGLISH :
Foucault's notion of "governmentality " is used to examine the rationalities and techniques used in the shaping of both individuals and populations. This paper reports on a qualitative study of the management and regulation of drug-use risk in the juvenile justice system in Victoria, Australia. It draws on in-depth interviews with 70 workers who have responsibility for the care and supervision of juvenile justice clients. The paper examines worker perceptions and definitions of their drug-using clients and the notions of risk that they employ, and then focuses on the techniques used to document and codify risk in different parts of the system. Finally it documents the different mechanisms through which workers govern the lives of drug-using clients. (Author' s abstract)
