Exclusão social e a criminalização do jovem brasileiro

Abstract

This study focuses on the process of social exclusion and criminality among Brazilian youth and the consequences of this lack of attention to this class, which is so powerful and at the same time weak. It highlights the criminalization resulting from the vulnerability of the population arising from poverty, aiming more at the side of low income Brazilian youth. Mainly to the enticement of poor youngsters, of peripheral origin, from needier neighborhoods and with little attention from the State, making these youngsters more susceptible to venture into criminality, due to the conditions of their own situation. Young people who do not have prospects for entering the work and study modalities. The biggest aggravating factor of this class, ''young, poor and of humble origin'', refers to mainly the basic issues of the whole society, such as employment, housing, food, security and, most importantly, education, many of this class do not have the opportunity to complete high school, and those who finish college end up at great cost. It is extremely important to emphasize that those without consumer goods and basic needs are not predisposed to criminal practices, but to those who experience this sad and horrendous reality that increasingly contributes to the criminality of lower-class Brazilian youth. The study concludes that it is necessary to combat not only juvenile crime, but in the process of how young people end up getting involved in crimes, due to the absence of several factors, however correctable.
