Efeitos do cumprimento de medida socioeducativa em meio aberto: uma análise a partir da perspectiva de adolescentes egressos em Natal-RN

Abstract

Adolescents who have participated of socio-educational measures, not only deal with the same pre-existing challenges while in this program, but sometimes they suffer to the stigma and the prejudice related with having committed an infraction. Nevertheless, does not exist, nationally, a systematic care for the former participant. In this research, it was investigated the contributions provided by the fulfillment of a socio-educative measure without freedom restraint in the city of Natal. To do so, the data collection was separated in two stages: documentary research and interviews with adolescents. The first one aimed to characterize the fulfillment of socio-educational measures in a service without freedom restraint in Natal, to understand the context in which the adolescents were inserted. The interviews sought to investigate changes and permanence in the lives of these adolescents provided by the fulfillment of socio-educational measures. In the analysis of the results, joints have been made between the data obtained in these two steps. It was identified that socio-educational experience in the municipality has been reduced to accountability. The procedural duration has been much higher than expected, generating a number of remaining adolescents linked to the service. This study shows signs that different manifestations of violence continue to permeate the lives of adolescents in the post-measure. In this scenario, the adolescents do not make associations between the socio-educational service with the guarantee of their rights nor with positive changes in their lives and, in general, feel wronged. These data are associated with the precarious functioning of both the socio-educational service and other services of the Child and Adolescent Rights Guarantee System.
