Abstract:
Having been established by Law No. 8.069/1990, the Statute of the Child and Adolescent represented a milestone in the consolidation of the Law of the Child and Adolescent in Brazil, since it instituted the Doctrine of Integral Protection, treating minors as subjects of rights, which deserve absolute priority on the part of the family, the State and society. While granting various rights and guarantees to minors, the ECA also established protective measures and socio-educational measures to be applied in cases of the commission of infractions by children and adolescents. In order to achieve the main objective of socio-educational measures, which is to raise awareness and to re-socialize adolescents, through Law 12.594/2012, the National System of Socio-Educational Assistance (Sinase) wasestablished in Brazil, establishing the guidelines that must be fulfilled to confer measures. It happens that, even though the ECA and the Law of Sinase present the norms for correct implementation of the measures, the Brazilian reality still faces several problems in this process of re-education of adolescents. Under this approach, the question is: are socio-educational measures foreseen in the ECA achieving the expected effectiveness for re-education and re-socialization of adolescents? Regarding the local reality, is the State of Paraíba succeeding in implementing these measures? In this sense, the present study aims to analyze the socio-educational measures foreseen in the ECA, exposing the effectiveness of the implementation of these measures in the country and, in order to illustrate the local reality, presenting data regarding the performance of the State of Paraíba in this process. For this, as methodological aspects, the deductive method guided the present study, also using the historical and interpretative methods as methods of procedure and the bibliographic research as a research technique, in order to construct the theoretical reference of the present study.
