JIMENEZ, Luciene  and  MARQUES, Vanda Regina. Integrative review about the practice of illegal acts in adolescence (2005/2014). Estud. psicol. (Natal) [online]. 2018, vol.23, n.2, pp. 111-121. ISSN 1413-294X.  http://dx.doi.org/10.22491/1678-4669.20180012.

Integrative review of 39 articles published between the years 2005/2014 aimed at identifying the understanding of Brazilian researchers on the factors involved in criminal behavior in adolescence. In analyzed articles predominate researchers and journals from the fields of psychology and health, and qualitative research with adolescents deprived of freedom. For analyzing eight categories were constructed that source three discourse groups on the reasons for deviant behavior. The first group identified the reasons present in day-by-day of teenagers living in the outskirts. The second group looked at the history of life of adolescents: abandonment of experiences, violence and deprivations associated with poverty, lack of opportunity and to imperative of a consumer and immediatist society. The third group problematized the socials mechanisms of identification of certain groups as deviant through discourses institutionalized. It is proposed as historic understanding of collective production, from the perspective of symbolic interaction.

Keywords : literature review; teenager in conflict with the law; juvenile delinquency.
