CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS AUTHORS OF INFRACTIONAL ACT AND SUBJECTIVITY: CHALLENGES IN PROFESSIONAL PSYCHOLOGY PRACTICE

Abstract

Modern society has faced a growing social panic in which the media spreads crime and violence rates in sensational ways across the media. In this context, adolescents are involved in the “world of crimeâ€, the perpetrators of infractions, which are acts contrary to the rules, being illegal and judged by law, as stated in the Statute of Children and Adolescents (ECA). The situations of young people in conflict with the law are of extreme concern, especially with regard to the practices of psychology professionals to change this reality. There is a political and social tendency to intervene in the substance of the problem without investigating its root cause, believing that its solution is only achieved through laws and decrees, separate from the needs of children and adolescents in Brazil. It is intended to problematize the issues related to the professional practice of psychologists in this context; understand the role of psychology in the social reintegration of children and adolescents in socio-educational measures and recidivism factors. Map and track the main texts on the topic; look for analyzers in history; analyze and build maps of power relations and forces scheme; draw diagrams; problematize objects and practices. The methodology used is cartography, a method postulated by Deleuze and Guattari (1995) in the introduction of the book Rizoma: schizophrenia and capitalism and part of a new understanding of research. In this work, we weave two diagrams unraveling their lines of force, power/knowledge and looking for lines of flight, of resistance – perhaps the greatest challenge for psychology in this field.
