A (in)eficácia das políticas públicas e o reflexo no índice de criminalidade juvenil em Roraima: estudo documental no centro socioeducativo Homero de Souza Cruz Filho

Abstract

Violence in cities and delinquency among young people are issues of significant importance and present a high level of complexity. For this reason, they have become more relevant in academic studies across various disciplines, especially in the humanities and social sciences, often linked to issues of inequality and social vulnerability. This doctoral thesis in Law is based on the analysis of public policies in order to prevent crime among young people and, consequently, from suffering when they become socio-educators who are subject to a measure of deprivation of liberty for committing an infraction. Its general objective is to reflect on the material and institutional conditions of socio-educational measures in Boa Vista, in Roraima. To this end, quantitative-qualitative documentary research was carried out. Documents from the institution were used that present the diagnosis of the Centro Socioeducativo Homero de Souza Cruz Filho, with the support of participant observation by the author. The results presented showed that it was observed that the highest levels of violent crime are associated with the most socially vulnerable groups, and that the geographic and cultural context in which these individuals live directly affects the identity formation of adolescents and young people, in addition to impacting their propensity to engage in offending activities.
