Summary/Abstract: On total sample of 418 children and youth in institutional treatment in Republic Croatia, research was conducted with main goal to determin age and sex differences according to Child Behaviour Checklist (Achenbach, 2001). Discriminatory analysis shows statistically significant differences regarding both criteria. Results show that youngest children (up to 14 years old) and girls manifest highest level ofproblem on particular syndromes and on total problems. Qualitative analysis of one of the open-end variables also indicate multiple risk in girls, with outlined specific topics such as pliability, alchol and drug abuse, inadequate relationships with opposite sex, runnying away and promiscuity. These results give certain guidelines for direct work and development of new treatment programs, but they also indicate the need for further research especcially when it comes to girls in institutional treatment.
