Jovens em situação de privação de liberdade segundo dissertações de mestrado defendidas no Brasil (2007 - 2016)

Abstract

In its chapter on socio-educational measures, the Statute of the Child and Adolescent (ECA) proposes the application of measures to adolescents who are responsible for offenses whose character must be educational and not punitive. The objective of this work was to map the CAPES database indexed dissertations on the deprivation of liberty of adolescents defended between 2007 and 2016. This research integrates a larger study that maps theses and dissertations present in the CAPES database from 1990 to 2016 and that identified 1133 dissertations defended in this period. In order to meet the proposed objective, 174 dissertations were selected that answered the research question: "What are the contributions of deprivation of liberty as a socio-educational measure for the development of young people in Brazil?". The socio-educational measure of deprivation of liberty has been approached in different fields of knowledge, with master programs being offered in universities in all regions of Brazil, with concentration in the southeast region. It was possible to perceive several problems in the execution of the socio-educational measure and that are in disagreement with the prescriptions of SINASE. In many cases, the punitive conception overlaps with the pedagogical aspect of the socio-educational measure, leading to an approximation between the socio-educational system and the prison system. It is important to emphasize the need for training courses for professionals working in the field of socio-educational measures.
