A instrumentalidade do Plano Individual de Atendimento do Adolescente - PIA: uma pesquisa exploratória sobre as percepções dos atores do sistema de justiça infantojuvenil

Abstract

Documentary bibliographical exploratory research and interviews with protection, defense and juvenile justice system agents of the State of Rio de Janeiro that allowed the theoretical and empirical arguments that guide this study. The quantitative data as well as the reports of the interviewees are significant and allow us to wonder why the flows and the bureaucratic logic of the juvenile and socio-educational justice system, despite the National Socio-educational System - SINASE point to the contrary, continue to make abusive use of prison, as a form of mere containment, since from a legal, doctrinal and, mainly, socioeducational point of view this should be the last measure in the socializing process. The protection and defense system faces the dilemma between the observance of diffuse and collective rights versus the individual rights of the adolescent who is temporarily in conflict with the law. The Individual Plan of Assistance - PIA directed to the adolescent and idealized as an instrument of protection and prospection of alternatives to abandonment, misery, lack of education, the precocity of parenthood, exposure to risks and urban violence has the theoretical pretension - because in practice it is still far from achieving its ideal - of enabling the adolescent, as a developing human being, to construct, with the help of specialists, the family and his community, their self-determination for the full exercise of citizenship in adult life.
