Jovens do Rio Grande do Norte: uma análise sobre a ressocialização do menor infrator e o CASEMI Nazaré

Abstract

This scientific article describes a study about the reality of the juvenile offender in the State of Rio Grande do Norte, analyzing closely the socio-educational measures in the Educational Center and its impacts on the resocialization of the individual. From the hypothetical-deductive method, it is possible to understand the functionality of the internments as a whole, from a sampling experienced in CASEMI Nazaré. First, the concepts involving the juvenile and the lack of responsibility of the penal system are discussed, developing, in this way, the applicability of the socio-educational measures, aiming to clarify the pedagogical-educational nature of the re-socialization of the juvenile offender to society. Throughout the research, several factors that socially and psychologically contribute to juvenile delinquency are also observed. To this end, field research was carried out, interviewing youth who have passed through CASEMI Nazaré, social-educational agents, and the director of the establishment itself, in addition to using articles and course completion papers as a basis for the bibliographic research. Finally, the impacts of the socio-educational measures on the resocialization of these juvenile offenders were observed, as well as the importance of an interdisciplinary support network involving the family, the state, and society for its effectiveness. It is necessary to understand that these youngsters need a quality infrastructure and an efficient regulatory agency, otherwise the recidivism in crimes becomes a growing cycle.
