The measurement of antisocial and criminal behaviors is among the most central methodological issues in forensic psychology and criminology. The main objective of this article is to examine the psychometric properties of the Antisociality-Criminality Scale (ACS) in a Portuguese sample (N=242; M=30.19 years; DP=12.78 years). The results of the confirmatory factor analysis indicated the presence of a latent one-factor structure with a satisfactory fit. Adequate psychometric properties were demonstrated, namely at the level of reliability and convergent, divergent, criterion, and group-known validity. Such results support the use of the ACS in forensic psychology and criminology settings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Adolescence, in addition to being a vital period of human development, could also be considered a sensitive period for the appearance of "antisocial" and "delinquent" behaviours. The objective of the present study is to characterise the prevalence of Antisocial and Delinquent Behaviour in a sample of 137 adolescents between 11 and 17 years of age belonging to the Caribbean region by means of the A-D Questionnaire. Based on the analysis of the results, a higher prevalence of antisocial behaviour (AB) was found, highlighting behaviours such as the "use of offensive language, violence as a method of conflict resolution and failure to comply with tasks"; as for delinquent behaviour (DB), although it presented a lower prevalence compared to AB, some of these behaviours were highlighted, such as "stealing valuables from public places, causing damage to public property and accessing clubs or acquiring prohibited beverages". In Colombia, and especially in the Caribbean region, there is a need to continue expanding scientific studies to generate contributions towards the approach and understanding of this complex phenomenon, especially taking into consideration the adolescent population, due to the different risk factors associated with this stage.

Na atualidade, o forte envolvimento dos jovens em redes sociais suscita o questionamento sobre potenciais efeitos multiplicadores de riscos e oportunidades para práticas de delinquência. Nem sempre é simples distinguir uma ação online inofensiva, parte integrante da experimentação social/relacional típica da adolescência, de um facto que passa a constituir um ilícito passível de intervenção judicial. Este artigo procura conhecer e discutir como o uso de redes sociais se materializa nos factos qualificados pela lei penal como crime praticados por jovens, entre os 12 e os 16 anos, no quadro da justiça juvenil em Portugal. Recorre-se à análise exploratória de informação qualitativa recolhida em Tribunal de Família e Menores, nos processos tutelares educativos de 201 jovens, de ambos os sexos. Pouco mais de terço da população viu provado o envolvimento em ilícitos com recurso a redes sociais, em três níveis diferenciados: planeamento/organização, execução e disseminação. A participação múltipla em redes sociais é dominante. É significativa a sobrerrepresentação das raparigas enquanto autoras de ilícitos, especialmente com elevado grau de violência, num continuum online-offline. A maioria dos factos analisados, de ambos os sexos, tem no epicentro, a perceção de que a honra pessoal foi atingida e requer reparação. Daí ao ato violento é um passo curto, o que pode levar à reconfiguração e troca de papéis entre vítima e agressor, nem sempre fácil de provar. Para ambos os sexos, as relações criadas a partir da escola dominam a interação entre agressores-vítimas. Mais do que o anonimato que o digital pode proporcionar, transparece a necessidade de afirmação no espaço público e/ou semiprivado, constituindo a ação violenta o catalisador para ganhar respeito pela imediata gratificação, que as redes sociais oferecem, num continuum online-offline que dá corpo à “onlife” (Floridi, 2017) que caracteriza a vida dos jovens no presente.

Currently, the strong involvement of young people in social media raises questions about potential multiplier effects on risks and opportunities for delinquent practices. It is not always easy to distinguish a harmless online action, an integral part of the social and relational experimentation typical of adolescence, from a fact that will constitute an unlawful act subject to judicial intervention. This article seeks to understand and discuss how the use of social media is materialized in the facts, defined as a crime by the criminal law, perpetrated by young people aged between 12 and 16, in the context of youth justice in Portugal. It is based on an exploratory analysis of qualitative information collected in a Family and Children Court from youth justice proceedings concerning 201 young people of both sexes. Just under a third of this population was proven to have been involved in unlawful acts using social media at three levels: planning/ organization, execution and dissemination. Multiple participation in social media is dominant. There is a significant overrepresentation of girls as perpetrators of unlawful acts, especially those involving a high degree of violence, embodying the online-offline continuum. Most of the analysed facts of both sexes have at their epicentre the perception that personal honour has been attacked and requires reparation. From there, it is a short step to violence, which can lead to a reconfiguration and exchange of roles between victim and aggressor, which is not always easy to prove. For both sexes, the relationships established in school dominate the interaction between aggressors-victims. More than the anonymity afforded by the digital, what stands out is the need for affirmation in public and/or semi-private space, and violent action is the catalyst to gain respect through the instant gratification offered by social media in an online-offline continuum embodying the "onlife" (Floridi, 2017) that characterizes the lives of young people today.

The objective of this investigation was to establish a relationship between psychopathic traits and belonging to groups of antinormative peers in a sample of Portuguese adolescents. Were included 517 adolescents from the schools in the north of Portugal, aged between 12 and 18 years. Was used the Escala de Antinormatividade Grupal (EAG) and the Youth Psychopathic Inventory Traits Reconstruted (YPI-RE). The results indicated gender and age influences at the level of the Group Antinormativity and psychopathic traits, and parent's marital status at the level of psychopathic traits. There was a significant positive correlation between Group Antinormativity and psychopathic traits, and, finally, it was concluded that Irresponsibility, the Search of Danger and to be male predict Group Antinormativity.

Esta investigação teve como objetivo estabelecer uma relação entre os traços psicopáticos e a pertença a grupos de pares antinormativos numa amostra de adolescentes portugueses. Foram incluídos 517 adolescentes de escolas da zona norte de Portugal, comidades compreendidas entre os 12 e os 18 anos. Utilizou-se a Escala de Antinormatividade Grupal (EAG) e o Youth Psychopathic Inventory Traits Reconstruted (YPI-RE). Os resultados indicaram influências do sexo e da idade ao nível da Antinormatividade Grupal e dos traços psicopáticos, e do estado civil dos pais a nível dos traços psicopáticos. Registou-se uma correlação positiva significativa entre a Antinormatividade Grupal e os traços psicopáticos, e, concluiu-se que a Irresponsabilidade, a Busca de Perigo e o sexo masculino predizem a Antinormatividade Grupal.

Around 1930 in Buenos Aires, physicians and lawyers began asking why children were committing crimes as part of a penal agenda revealed in publications such as the Revista de Psiquiatría, Criminología y Medicina Legal and the Anales de la Sociedad Argentina de Criminología from 1930 to 1946. Emerging from this discourse, conceived as a social practice, was an approach to the dangerous nature of childhood, linked to biological qualities, environmental factors and issues related to family and gender which were flagged as a precursor to crime. Advances in endocrinology, criminal biotypology, and psychiatry were resumed, with these subjects also addressed at the First International Congress on Criminology in Rome and the First Latin American Congress on Criminology in Buenos Aires, both held in 1938. A qualitative analysis of the discourse reveals a blend of the incidence of the biological and the social in the dangerous nature of childhood. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Neste artigo investigativo buscamos mostrar a produção da delinquência e sua objetificação pelos saberes psicológicos do século XX no Brasil. O escopo analítico para esta pesquisa partiu da estratégia arqueogenealógica de Michel Foucault, na qual investigamos publicações da revista Arquivos Brasileiros de Psicologia, desde sua criação em 1949 até 1990. Nestes termos, selecionamos como campo de análise 17 artigos nos quais os elementos ‘juventude’, ‘criminalidade’ e/ou ’delinquência’ faziam-se presentes, a partir dos quais delimitamos quatro eixos epistemológicos que legitimaram a delinquência como objeto de estudo do campo psi: 1. desmoralização da pobreza (herança familiar); 2. soberania da interiorização (determinismo biopsicológico); 3. sintomatologia da contemporaneidade; e 4. essencialização da juventude. A partir dessa análise, visibilizamos não somente como a Psicologia vai constituindo o jovem como sujeito do delinquir, bem como privatiza um domínio de saber sobre este objeto, tornando-se uma ciência absolutamente necessária para explicar contemporaneamente a criminalidade juvenil.

This work compiles a set of studies developed to understand the antisocial phenomenon in the context of normative adolescent development. The aim of this research was to understand individual factors and the complex interplay of factors that jointly contribute to explaining adolescent antisocial behaviour. This was achieved through the exploration of the joint contribution of personality, social skills, family environment, self-concept, and socioeconomic status. The presented studies used data from two different samples: a convenience sample of 193 adolescents between the 5th and the 12th grade; and a convenience sample of 121 delinquent boys who were, at the time of data collection, institutionalised in Educational Centres. Results suggest that there are some general factors accounting for all antisocial behaviour (from normative transgression to delinquency). Nevertheless, there were also remarkable differences between different behaviours in terms of their nature and severity. Likewise, age-related variables and stable variables showed different contributions to antisocial behaviour. In sum, it was possible to conclude that adolescent antisocial behaviour in general can be accounted for by factors related to developmental change, typical of adolescents. Still, there are some individual characteristics that make some individuals more prone to engage in this type of behaviour. The importance of considering antisocial behaviour from the general population in a different way from juvenile delinquency is highlighted as the latter was considerably more serious, persistent and manifested in adolescents that were especially vulnerable, not just individually, but also with regards to family and social contexts.

In this investigative article we draw upon the production of delinquency and its objectification by psychological knowledge during the twentieth century in Brazil. The analytical scope for this research comes from the archeogenealogical strategy put forward by Michel Foucault, whereby we investigated articles from the journal 'Arquivos Brasileiros de Psicologia' between 1949 and 1990. We selected 17 articles as analytical field in which the elements "youth", "crime" and/or "delinquency" are present and through which four epistemological axes that legitimize delinquency as an object of study of psychology were delineated: 1. the demoralization of poverty (family inheritance),2. sovereignty of internalization (biopsychological determinism),3. symptomatology of contemporaneity,and 4. essentialization of youth. Through this analysis, we highlight how psychology constitutes the young subject as the representation of delinquency, but rather as the science that privatizes a domain over this object. Psychology, thus, become the necessary science to explain contemporary youth criminality. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A contemporaneidade é um tempo pleno de desafios, sendo que o desenvolvimento desenfreado do capitalismo não conseguiu dar respostas ao mal-estar gerado pela desigualdade social que essa ordem social é capaz de provocar, fato que repercute diretamente na sociabilidade e formas de subjetivação humana, sobretudo em um contexto de crise e agravamento do desemprego estrutural provocado pelas transformações ocorridas no mundo do trabalho que afetam a todos. Essa reflexão propõe a urgência quanto ao aprofundamento referente ao desrespeito aos direitos infantojuvenis na sociedade brasileira em face da cultura hedonista e consumista associada ao impacto provocado pelo “fetiche da mercadoria” sobre os adolescentes, em especial aqueles que recorrem ao ato infracional como estratégia de sobrevivência e forma de se inserir em um mundo injusto e perverso. Para isso, resgata-se o significado social atribuído à adolescência na modernidade, como forma de se defender investimentos nessa fase peculiar de desenvolvimento humano, sendo necessário recorrer a diferentes áreas do saber para uma análise do fenômeno que vá além da aparência e do imediatismo. O ato de transgredir leis instituídas é facilmente associado ao termo delinquência, cristalizado na história das políticas sociais brasileiras dedicadas às crianças e adolescentes, de forma a estigmatizá-las, encaminhandoas para instituições privativas de liberdade. A interdisciplinaridade e as práticas interparadigmáticas aparecem como um caminho necessário para a propositura de políticas públicas mais eficientes e menos vingativas, rumo à efetivação do sistema de garantia de direitos da infância e juventude, desconstruindo a ênfase que historicamente vem sendo dada à reclusão como resposta a essas demandas postas.

Considerando nossa inserção em um projeto social realizado dentro de uma favela do Rio de Janeiro, o presente trabalho objetiva analisar os alcances e limites de nossa atuação profissional no atendimento de crianças e adolescentes vítimas de violência e de comportamento antissocial, à luz do pensamento de Winnicott. O projeto objetiva a socialização de crianças e adolescentes vítimas de violência, a partir de atividades circenses, lúdicas, criação de figurinos, aprendizagem de danças e capoeira, acompanhadas por uma equipe de assistentes sociais, pedagogos e psicólogos. O atendimento evidenciou a violência que incide sobre as vidas das crianças e dos adolescentes em suas várias manifestações. Dois estudos de casos são apresentados para ilustrar o trabalho desenvolvido no projeto. Concluiu-se que, malgrado todos os esforços das equipes, que ofereciam um espaço de escuta e acolhimento a esses atores sociais, nem todos puderam encontrar uma saída criativa para suas vidas diante do seu sofrimento psíquico. A possibilidade de construção e reconstrução só foi possível quando estas puderam encontrar no projeto social "Circo" uma "luz no fim do túnel", ou seja, um lugar, um espaço ou "continente suficientemente bom" às suas demandas psíquicas e às da própria vida.

O tema é amplo: a relação entre a dominação e o saber, a relação entre o intelectual e a universidade como instituição dominante ligada à dominação, a universidade antipovo. A universidade está em crise. Isto ocorre porque a sociedade está em crise; através da crise da universidade é que os jovens funcionam detectando as contradições profundas do social, refletidas na universidade. A universidade não é algo tão essencial como a linguagem; ela é simplesmente uma instituição dominante ligada à dominação. Não é uma instituição neutra; é uma instituição de classe, onde as contradições de classe aparecem. Para obscurecer esses fatores ela desenvolve uma ideologia do saber neutro, científico, a neutralidade cultural e o mito de um saber “objetivo”, acima das contradições sociais.

Este artigo pretende discutir como, na experiência nacional, a partir dos discursos médico-legal e criminológico e das práticas de controle e punição dirigidas à infância e à juventude pobre e abandonada, as categorias menoridade e periculosidade se articularam, apropriando-se do instituto da periculosidade presumida (aplicada a adultos vadios e reincidentes no Código Penal de 1940), para diferenciar a menoridade, necessariamente pobre, da infância e juventude abastadas, eventualmente infratora. O artigo recorre a análise da normativa (entre as décadas de 1920 e 1950), levantamento e análise de material bibliográfico, bem como a dados e discursos de Relatórios Policiais das décadas 1930 e 1940, no estado de São Paulo, como fontes primárias.

Severe antisocial behaviour in adolescence is a matter of concern in every society, especially when it translates in juvenile delinquency that persists through adulthood. In this study, we asked a sample of 121 institutionalized male juvenile offenders (between 14 and 20 years old) to fill several self-report measures to understand young delinquents and their social and academic conditions, behaviour, and individual dispositions. Results reveal peculiarities on academic achievement, socioeconomic status and family size. Analysis confirmed the role of personality, self-concept, self-control and family environment on antisocial scores, especially psychoticism, neuroticism, social conformity, and family environment. Different behavioural subtypes reflect differences in psychoticism, antisocial behaviour and family environment. However, there were no correlations between antisocial tendency and age, school year or family size. Our paper contributes to existing knowledge that supports intervention approaches, stressing that, unlike age, school year or family size, different types of behaviour may require differentiated interventions.

Este artigo teve como objetivo verificar as diferenças de condutas agressivas entre um grupo de pessoas que cometeram delitos (grupo 1) e um grupo de universitários com as maiores pontuações na Escala de Avaliação de Tendência a Agressividade (grupo 2). O grupo 1 foi constituído por 41 jovens com idades entre 18 e 19 anos, enquanto o grupo 2 foi composto por 42 participantes universitários com idades entre 18-29 anos. Os resultados mostraram o grupo 1 caracterizou-se por condutas relacionadas a enganar para prejudicar, obter sexo ou não perceberem minha culpa; desafiar pessoas, descarregar a raiva em alguém e andar armado, enquanto o grupo 2 apresentou apenas o fato falar alto quando não atendido ou entendido.Este artículo tiene como objetivo verificar las diferencias de conductas agresivas entre un grupo de personas que cometieron delitos (grupo 1) y un grupo de universitarios con los más altos puntajes en la Escala de Avaliação de Tendência a Agressividade (grupo 2). El grupo fue compuesto por 41 jóvenes de edades comprendidas entre 18 y 19 años, mientras que el grupo 2 fue compuesto por 42 universitarios de edades entre 18-29 años. Los resultados mostraron que el grupo 1 se caracterizó por conductas relacionadas a engañar para perjudicar, tener sexo, o no darse cuenta de mi culpa; desafiar a la gente; descargar la ira en alguien y estar armado, mientras que el grupo 2 presentó solamente el facto de hablar alto cuando no atendidos o entendidos.This article aims to verify the differences in aggressive behaviors in a group of people who committed crimes (group 1) and a group of college students with the highest scores on the Escala de Avaliação de Tendência a Agressividade (group 2). Group 1 consisted of 41 18-19 years persons, while Group 2 was composed of 42 18-29 year-old participating students. The results showed that group 1 was characterized by conduct related to injury, sex, or it is not my fault; defying people, raging at someone and carrying a gun. Group 2 showed only the fact "speak loud" when misunderstood.

No presente artigo, estuda-se como as técnicas de poder disciplinares apresentadas por Foucault em Vigiar e punir (1975) se relacionam com os dispositivos de segurança, analisados em Segurança, território, população (1978). A tese de Foucault em 1975 é que a circularidade da delinquência é produzida e alimentada pelas práticas disciplinares; mas somente a partir de 1978, no curso Segurança, território, população, pode-se deduzir conceitualmente que aquela circularidade corresponde a uma maneira de governar que permite e tolera a delinquência em sua realidade e em seu curso para, posteriormente, regulá-la mediante o uso de dispositivos de segurança que reforçam o poder do Estado. A conclusão é que, neste caso, os dispositivos de segurança não substituem as disciplinas, mas as reconfiguram a partir de uma nova economia do poder.

O artigo que se apresenta tem com objecto de análise a representação do sentimento de insegurança face ao crime, com base no estudo comparativo de duas comunidades em Portugal, cujos modelos dominantes de sociabilidade pouco se assemelham - concelho de Mértola e linha de Sintra; concelho de Mértola erodido por uma contínua desertificação demográfica, e linha de Sintra em crescente expansão urbanística e demográfica. Procurou-se interpretar os discursos produzidos pelos entrevistados, sujeitos à influência não só dos signos e mecanismos que definem a modernidade, como ao efeito socializante dos grandes paradigmas que marcam a vivência nas sociedades contemporâneas. Normatividade e ruptura face ao estabelecido são uma constante ao longo do artigo. Não existe um sentimento de insegurança. O que habita os indivíduos são uma pluralidade de formas de expressar os receios construídos a partir do cruzamento de variáveis como: o tipo de solidariedade dominante na comunidade ou no local de residência; a proximidade residencial de locais vincados pela exclusão e por assimetrias socioculturais e económicas; e a experiência de vitimação directa ou emocionalmente próxima. Conclui-se que tais variáveis condicionam as práticas e as representações que os indivíduos vão construindo acerca da definição dos agentes e suas motivações para o comportamento desviante, assim como da eficácia dos mecanismos de controlo social.This article analyzes the representation of the feeling of insecurity in the face of crime, based on the comparative study of two communities in Portugal, with different models of sociability - concelho de Mértola and linha de Sintra; concelho de Mértola, eroded by a continuous demographic desertification, and linha de Sintra in increasing urban and demographic expansion. The paper interprets the interviews as a result of the influence of the signs and mechanisms that define modernity, and the socializing effect of the great paradigms that characterize life in contemporary societies. Normativity and rupture in face of the status quo appear constantly throughout the article. There is no feeling of insecurity. The individuals have many ways to express the apprehension that results from the intersection of variables such as: the dominant type of solidarity in the community or place of residence; residential proximity to places marked by exclusion and socio-cultural and economic asymmetries; and the experience of victimization, either direct or emotionally close. It appears that these variables influence the practices and representations that individuals create to define the agents and their motivation for deviant behavior, as well as the efficacy of the mechanisms of social control.

O presente estudo teve como objetivo conhecer os parâmetros psicométricos do Questionário de Condutas Anti-sociais e Delitivas (CAD). Especificamente, procurou-se reunir evidências de sua validade fatorial e consistência interna no contexto paraibano, assim como conhecer a adequação de uma versão reduzida desta medida. Efetuaram-se dois estudos específicos. No primeiro participaram 480 estudantes do ensino médio, cuja idade média foi de 16,2 anos (DP = 1,60), sendo a maioria do sexo feminino (55,1%). No segundo contou-se com uma amostra de 1.463 estudantes de ensino fundamental, médio e superior, com idades variando de 10 a 36 anos (m = 16; DP = 4,41), a maioria do sexo feminino (59,9%). Os participantes responderam o Questionário de Condutas Anti-sociais e Delitivas e perguntas demográficas. Os resultados apoiaram a adequação psicométrica deste instrumento, que apresentou a estrutura bi-dimensional teorizada. Além disso, a proposta de uma versão reduzida do CAD se mostrou adequada, reunindo evidências de validade e consistência interna equiparáveis à versão original. Estes resultados foram discutidos à luz da literatura e pesquisas futuras foram sugeridas.This study aimed at knowing the psychometric parameters of the Antisocial and Delictive Behaviors Questionnaire (ADQ). Specifically, it tried to join evidences of its factor validity and reliability in the milieu of Paraíba-Brazil, as well as to know the adequacy of a briefed version of this measure. Two studies were accomplished. In Study 1, the participants were 480 students from high school, with a mean age of 16.2 years old (SD = 1.60), most of them were women (55.1%). In Study 2, 1,463 students of elementary school, high school, and university; with ages ranging from 10 to 36 years old (m = 16; SD = 4.41) participated in research, 59.9% were female. They answered the Antisocial and Delictive Behaviors Questionnaire and to demographic questions. Results supported the psychometric adequacy of this measure, which showed the theorized bi-factor structure. Moreover, the purpose of the ADQ briefed version revealed itself adequate, jointing evidences of factor validity and reliability similar to those of the original version. These findings were discussed based on literature and future researches are suggested as well.

Este estudo investigou a ocorrência de eventos estressores no desenvolvimento de 50 adolescentes autoras de ato infracional, com idade entre 13 e 20 anos, que cumpriam medida sócio-educativa em órgão governamental. Os dados foram coletados através de entrevistas semi-estruturadas e de uma versão adaptada do Inventário de Eventos Estressores na Adolescência (IEEA). Foram identificados eventos estressores em diferentes domínios, como a ocorrência de maus-tratos, abuso sexual, uso de drogas, repetência escolar, desemprego e morte dos pais, que se constituem como fatores de risco no seu desenvolvimento. Estes aspectos revelam um ciclo de violência presente na trajetória destas adolescentes, no período anterior ao ato infracional.

Coimbra, no início do Século XX, era uma cidade muito dinâmica na discussão das idéias pedagógicas. Estava nesse tempo muito bem ligada com a ciência pedagógica que se fazia por todo o mundo. Havia dois jornais pedagógicos que discutiam a profissão e a tecnologia educativa. Notava-se já a presença das idéias da Escola Nova, que estava ligada ao estudo dos desvios da normalidade psicológica. Decroly era bem conhecido e renascia entre nós uma Pedagogia Especial a partir da análise e diagnóstico das deficiências, obrigando à mudança do paradigma pedagógico. Esse processo era mais evidente no ensino dos cegos e dos surdos, mas criou ainda a necessidade social de protecção dos delinqüentes, que eram também crianças e jovens em risco moral. Tudo mostrava Portugal como um país avançado e pioneiro numa pedagogia especial. Foi o que infelizmente um novo tempo político veio obstaculizar, mas isso é já o tema de outra investigação.

Considering our insertion in a social program held in a slum in Rio de Janeiro, this work aims at analyzing the range and limits of our professional action in treating children and teenagers victimized by violence and presenting antisocial demeanor, according to Winnicott's thinking. The project aims at the socialization of children and teenagers victimized by violence through activities such as: circus, playing, fashion creation, dancing and "capoeira" practice, while accompanied by a team of social workers, pedagogues and psychologists. The sessions evidenced several manifestations of violence taking place on children and teenagers' lives. Two case studies are presented. The conclusion was that, although all the efforts made by the teams, offering a listening and refuge space to those social actors, not all of them were able to find a creative way out to their lives, in face of their psychological suffering. The possibility of constructing and reconstructing was only possible whenever they could find hope within the social program called "Circus", that is, a place, a space or a "good enough continent" to their psychological demands and of their own lives.

Psychological assessment is always a complex process that must attend to the specificities of the individual, the group and the community. Thus, there are no exceptions with regard to populations with deviant behaviors and, within this very large group, we should consider the specificities underlying those behaviors and the context of its manifestation. In this article, and based on a literature review and on the experience gained from the work developed by the Group of Consumptions and Delinquencies (GCD), from the Pedagogical Psychology Clinic (CPP) at the Fernando Pessoa University (UFP), we propose a plan directed to young people with deviant behaviors. That plan must have some flexibility, following the procedures recommended, but regarding the specificities of the evaluation target. This is a proposal that aims to embrace a more idiographic shed, which analyzes of the subjective aspects, calling for techniques such as observation and interview, and also attending to the objective elements, through the use of structured instruments. Depending on the particular circumstances of the case, this proposal for evaluation plan may eventually suffer adjustments, and may be complemented with other evaluation procedures suggested by other protocols.

Este artigo trata da relação intrínseca entre a definição de adolescência e a idéia de delinqüência juvenil pré-existente, tomada de empréstimo da filantropia e dos tratados jurídicos do século XIX, a partir da qual delineou-se a figura do adolescente "ideal". Resulta da análise de livros e textos da (psico)pedagogia - produzidos entre a primeira década do século XX até os anos setenta -, os quais, por meio de um discurso próprio, traçaram definições e problemáticas, caracterizando cientificamente o surgimento de uma nova subjetividade, a adolescência. Essa pesquisa demonstra ainda alguns deslocamentos posteriores da definição de adolescência - como o rebelde sem causa e o jovem revolucionário - e que, ainda com a criação desses novos personagens, a imagem do adolescente transgressor permaneceu vigente no imaginário social, definindo e determinando os destinos deste sujeito.

Este trabalho sugere um referencial para pensar a prevenção da violência juvenil. A decisão sobre quais medidas deprevenção do crime devem ser tomadas começa pela análise não só da efetividade, mas também dos custos dasmedidas em diferentes circunstâncias. O segundo passo é igualmente difícil: a intervenção deve ser focalizada nalocalidade específica onde o problema está acontecendo, ou seja, o foco deve recair sobre aspectos mais gerais, comoa juventude, a comunidade e a família, que influenciam as possibilidades de os jovens cometerem delitos. Trata-sede escolhas difíceis. É muito importante, contudo, conhecer as conseqüências das abordagens escolhidas. Do mesmomodo, é igualmente relevante considerar os efeitos da não opção por outras abordagens.

This article examines the characteristics of cattle raiding in La Pampa during the first decades of the 20th century. The main objective of this research was to recognize the spread of social values regarding cattle theft in the fields of justice and press. We analyze the mechanisms of the state to control cattle theft and the social actors involved in stealing, commercializing, and transporting cattle, to make more complex the interpretations that only associate this crime to subordinate sectors of the society of La Pampa [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Contemporaneity is a time full of challenges, and the huge development of capitalism has failed to answer satisfactorily the discontents generated by the social inequality that this social order is capable of provoking. That fact directly reflects on sociability and human subjectivation forms, mainly on a crises and aggravation of the structural unemployment, context caused by the changes that occurred in the working world that affects everybody. This reflection suggests the urgency in deepening the discussions about disrespect to juvenile rights in Brazilian society, in view of the hedonistic and consumerist culture associated to the impact provoked by the "merchandise fetish" on teenagers, especially those who practice illegal acts as a strategy to survive and a way of inserting themselves in an unfair and mean world. In order to do that, the social meaning assigned to adolescence nowadays is taken as a way of defending the investments in this peculiar phase of human development. Different knowledge areas are necessary for an analysis of the phenomenon that goes beyond its appearance and immediacy. The act of transgressing official laws is easily associated to delinquency, embodied in the history of Brazilian social policies dedicated to children and adolescents. This association is a way to stigmatize and sending them to custodial institutions. Interdisciplinary and inter-paradigmatic practices appears to be a necessary way towards proposing more efficient and less vindictive public politics, leading to a more effective system that can guarantee juvenile rights, deconstructing the emphasis that has been historically given in the confinement as the answer to these demands.

The views of the media witness the state of a society and also contribute to the construction of this social multi plurality. The expressions, the language and the news framework on juvenile delinquency format concepts and ideas, build realities, but also reflect them. Based on the historical background and the quantitative and qualitative analysis of the news coverage on juvenile crime in the newspapers Páblico and Correio da Manhã, in routines and extra-routines times, as well as the analysis of five interviews with police agents and journalists, we seek to identify contexts and journalistic options as well as representations of the phenomenon.
