Construindo o contexto: demarcadores sociais e características dos adolescentes que cometeram atos infracionais em Santa Maria/RS (2010 a 2020)

Abstract

This study aims to identify the profile of male adolescents in conflict with the law in the municipality of Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, who went through the Socioeducational Assistance Center (CASE) between 2010 and 2020. The analysis of this profile is based on the identification records of each adolescent, where social markers such as age, color/race, level of education, and paternity were selected. Additionally, the types of offenses committed by these adolescents and the socioeducational measures applied were analyzed. The study seeks, based on this data, to investigate whether there is an association between age groups and the level of education for each type of offense, aiming to understand which ages and educational levels are more associated with committing such an infraction.
