Abstract

Taking as a basis of study the town of Ferrol, an arsenal-city born in the mid-eighteenth century in the kingdom of Galicia, our objective is to analyze the reality of marginalized children in that area and the policies designed by the authorities to deal with the problems generated by it. We study, first of all, the phenomenon of abandoned childhood and the role played by the “Hospital de Caridad” in offering a solution to a widespread practice in such an expanding population. We also analyze the relationship between childhood and delinquency, through the repressive measures adopted by the civil and military authorities to reorient idle youth into future useful men, through work in military installations.
