The Proposal of the Reduction of Criminal Responsibility Age under the Perspective of Technical Teams of Socio-Educational Measures of Internment. Gerais, Rev. Interinst. Psicol.

The proposal of the reduction of criminal responsibility age has generated some controversies. This study aimed to explore how the technical staff from the socio-educational measures of interment, located in the interior of São Paulo State, understands the proposal, as well as the effectiveness of the strategies already provided by the statute. A descriptive, exploratory and analytical study of qualitative reference was carried out. Using an interview script, data were analyzed through the technique of content analysis. The sample consisted of eight female participants with background in Psychology or Social Service who work in the attendance of adolescents in compliance of socio-educational measures of interment. All of them were against the proposal, as they consider it to be an oversimplified measure to a complex problem, reflexing a response to an appeal for justice on the part of society, influenced by media and political issues that do not correspond to reality data. They evaluate it as an excluding proposal and consider that effective change should be guided by the restorative justice, based on the precepts of the statute and investment in public policies.

Keywords : Adolescent author of an infraction act; Criminal responsibility; Socio-educational measures; Qualitative research.
