Delinquência e adolescência: concepções sob um olhar marxista

Abstract

The present work is part of the conclusion of the course in Social Sciences (bachelor's degree) and aims to discuss the relationship between crime and adolescence from a Marxist perspective. We will seek to approach crime in a critical way to positive law and the State, understanding these as corresponding to the dominant class. We will take class theory as a guide, situating adolescents in the working class, understanding them as individuals exposed to the pleasure of morality and order that constitutes a discourse of forced criminalization. It is understood that the adolescence of the working class is intertwined with the capitalist mode of production in a historical way. We will limit our object of analysis according to the ECA (Statute of the Child and Adolescent), delimiting it in the age group of twelve to eighteen years of age, as expressed in Book 01 Title 01 Art. 2. It is a qualitative research of bibliographic character with quantitative data collection from SINASE (National System of Socio-Educational Care). We understand society in its totality by taking dialectical historical materialism as a framework. We understand that the definition of crime is not a consensus and its construction is linked to a philosophical thought, we understand here that crime is all the crossing of the boundaries of permissiveness, where on the other side there is private property that builds mechanisms of domination. Finally, we will seek to map the various meanings of the relationship between capitalism, adolescence and criminology, outlining an analysis directed to the perspective based on radical critical criminology, these with Marxist bases. May this work serve as a contribution to current discussions of crime with a focus on adolescence and Marxism.
