Social pedagogy in different forms in the light of Luhmanns systems theory. An empirical inquiry into what happens in situations where an evidence manual is not followed.

This thesis addresses social pedagogical practice around an evidence based manual where social pedagogues choose to act differently to following the detailed directions in the manual. This is an interesting new research field since the social pedagogues intend to follow the structures that again claim to replace aggressive behaviour with young people if the program compliance is high. This makes it interesting to explore why social pedagogues act differently.
