N2  - This paper examines Ontario's Safe Schools Act (2000), and the codes of conduct of school boards and high schools in the Niagara and Toronto regions. I investigate how these codes are organized, justified and presented to students and, in the process, what kind of students (and adolescents) are assumed and created, particularly in terms of citizens and future workers. Codes of conduct are sites of knowledge production, fashioning middle-class, normative, gendered citizens, and marginalizing those who do not easily conform. These codes also suggest a government of young people through their capacity to act and consequent self-regulation, alongside more "top-down" techniques.<p />
