SOUZA, Juliana Marcondes Pedrosa de; CALAZANS, Roberto  y  MOREIRA, Jacqueline de Oliveira. Criminology and Psychoanalysis: an interpretation of acts of infraction during adolescence. Estud. pesqui. psicol. [online]. 2017, vol.17, n.2, pp. 725-743. ISSN 1808-4281.

When acts of infraction are discussed, an important issue which should be highlighted concerns the Psychoanalysis' view on possible unconscious reasons that may be revealed by these sorts of acts in contrast with the view from the Law, which targets punishment in order to ensure the observance of society's rules. In both points of view, social implications of these acts are taken into consideration, thus it is not possible to let go of the framing proposed by legal directives to those who serve social-educational measures. Nonetheless, one should consider the implicit subjectivity of acts of infraction, which makes each act unique in each life story. In this context, it is important to connect the act of infraction to the practice of speech during the serving of the measure. This article aims to articulate the contributions of psychoanalytic theories (more specifically, the contributions given by Freud, Lacan and Miller) on criminology and on acts with the listening of the transgressor adolescent, as well as to comprehend the importance we give to the moment in which the adolescents start questioning themselves on their acts of infraction and their implications on their own lives.

Palabras clave : criminology; acts of infraction; adolescence.
