It is a qualitative research and the method was the analysis of paste of three teenagers: incomplete basic education, low family income, infractions like drug trafficking, theft. Results of documents reviewed point to a systematic dismantling of the System of Rights Guarantees that attends the teenager who received both measures, causing serious implications for the situation of rights violations experienced as well as to overcome the context that led to the practice of infraction.
