O adolescente infrator e a desigualdade na aplicação das medidas socioeducativas brasileiras

Abstract

This paper analyzes the inequality in the application of socio-educational measures in Brazil, focusing on the selectivity of the juvenile justice system regarding factors such as social class, race, and territory. The objective is to identify the structural elements that influence the imposition of these measures and to understand the impacts on vulnerable adolescents. The methodology adopted is a bibliographic review, based on legal doctrines, relevant legislation, jurisprudence, and statistical data from official sources. The results show a significant disparity in how the socio-educational system is applied, revealing a discriminatory and exclusionary pattern. The conclusion highlights the need to reform institutional practices to ensure greater equity and effectiveness in protecting the fundamental rights of adolescents.
