Abstract:
In this research we intend, through a bibliographic and narrative study, to understand the factors that contribute to the criminalization of young people, we seek to detach from them the univocal view that attributes them responsibility for violence. Based on a historical survey, we report how children and adolescents were seen and treated over time and the legal advances that accompanied this transformation. We also seek to provide a broader look at the criminalization of youth, portraying the historical inequalities to which certain groups have been subjected, making it impossible for them to exercise their citizenship and guarantee their dignity. We investigated how the view of criminalization influences the creation of modes of subjectivation and the construction of subjectivity. In this way, we aim to contribute to fostering the discussion on juvenile criminalization, thus enabling new ways of viewing and dealing with this phenomenon, based on reflections and theoretical and experiential contributions that can help in professional practice in this space.
