Políticas socioeducativas e a teoria do etiquetamento: ressocialização de adolescentes em conflito com a lei

Abstract

This work has the objective, a reflection on adolescents in conflict with the law in compliance with socio-educational measures in an enclosed environment - hospital - and Labeling theory in order to understand if the measure applies in juvenile criminal law. For the development of research will be necessary to analyze the state modernization process in order to understand how to give the State's action in regard to the rights of children and adolescents, and the study of democracy and citizenship. Then the object of study turns to the Labeling Theory, which was designed from the 60s, especially in the United States, with studies of Howard Becker, Edwin Shur, David Matza, among others, which now relate a crime tag assigned to a series of -Theory Labeling of subjects. The object is moved to the criminalization of the crime, as constructed reality, since the crime is a quality attributed to people and behaviors by the repressive apparatus of the criminal justice system. The relevant discussion that is proposed by this work is due to the fact that the theme "Socio-Educational Policies and Labeling Theory: rehabilitation measures for adolescents in conflict with the law" interconnects social development, as so that there is a balanced society, shall be made necessary that there is also a balanced teen, free and with real possibilities for a future consistent with their aspirations.The measures applied to adolescents in conflict with the law should have the power to punish and while educating, demonstrating values to be followed. Legal measures applied to adolescents in conflict with the law can indeed deprive them of freedom , since the state is able to cultivate human values, respect and rehabilitation practices, with the gradual inclusion of these adolescents in society. Thus, the application of hospitalization socio-educational measures will be studied in the context of Montes Claros / MG, relating to the Labeling Theory, in order to verify that this applies in juvenile criminal context. It is from the considerations listed above to be developed the theme.
