Adolescente em conflito com a lei: uma análise do cumprimento das medidas socioeducativas no centro de referência especializado de assistência social (CREAS- Sousa/PB).

Abstract

Children and adolescents in Brazilian society went through various processes of social, political, economic and legal. Since the colonial period, childhood was marked by living abandoned on the logic of charity and coming philanthropy of the Catholic Church, then with the Proclamation of the Republic and the adoption of the Constitution / 1988 was legitimated the Statute of Children and Adolescents (ECA) / nineteen ninety. This process was acquired through discursões in favor of the rights guaranteed, as are provided for in art.112 socio-educational measures applied to adolescents who have committed illegal acts. In this sense the research aims to understand the adolescents in conflict with the law within the Brazilian historical context and specifically in the city of Sousa-PB, to ascertain the half-open action performed in the Specialized Center for Social Assistance (CREAS), among them Freedom assisted (LA) and Service Delivery Community (PSC) if they are effective in the educational process, as well as leading a teenager to commit such an act. documentary research was carried out bibliographic and field, with application of semi-structured questionnaires with CREAS Technical team and the Childhood Court Judge and youth both de Sousa-PB. The same is characterized as a qualitative exploratory study, considering the analysis through the dialectical critical thinking. With the study we stress teens who commit illegal acts mostly are in a situation of social vulnerability, characteristic of lack of investment, thus needing a mutual supplement between Society, State and family and especially investments in public policies by the State both for the realization of fundamental rights and the institutions that perform educational measures. It should be noted that adolescents who meet the measures Sousa, are not effective because the difficulty of the institutions implementing them. It is understood that with the ECA, children and adolescents gained a breakthrough in the guarantee of rights, but also need greater effectiveness in public policy and in confronting social issues.
