A importância da família para os adolescentes privados de liberdade: estudo acerca da participação familiar na execução da medida socioeducativa de internação, resiliência e ressignificação do ato

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the importance of the family in complying with the socioeducational confinement measure at the “Socio-Educational Community (CASE) SALVADOR”. While committing serious legal violations, teenagers may be punished with a freedom deprivation action: a confinement that has no predetermined deadline, but which also can’t exceed a period of three years. Considering there is no clear legal criteria on determining how long the intern should stay confined, coupled with the fact that adolescence reflects a transitional period between child and adulthood, and that teenagers are still under maturity development, parental engagement is crucial to these youngsters, since family support - besides being humans’ first social group - is also the source of identity framing for those who are still under development and need affection. This study seeks to better understand how family engagement impacts the resignification of the committed act by part of the teenagers and in the execution of the confinement measure.
