Medidas socioeducativas: uma inclusão social?

Abstract

This final majoring paper presents a theoretical and practical report of supervised training, academic activity carried out in the Centro de Defesa das Crianças e dos Adolescentes - CEDEDICA / SM. The Cededica is a non-governmental organization that runs educational measures in Freedom of Probation and Service Delivery to the Community. Living with the socio-educational measures enabled a reflection on the historical and social processes in Brazil, for the realization of children and teenagers care policy at risk and social vulnerability, a previously excluded and stigmatized population who, for years, was treated from punctual interventions by the State, more precisely from the institutionalization on. The democratization process in the country from the 1980s, as well as the consolidation of a specific legislation, recognized children and teenagers as subjects of rights, making clear the need and the right of young lawbreakers to be punished under a pedagogical action and not a punitive one, enabling their social inclusion. 24 years have passed since the creation of the Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente, and legal mechanisms are still being created to contemplate their effective implementation.
