The policies for the adolescent offenders' care presume the presence of psychologists in the multidisciplinary teams of socio-educational assistance, being up to these professionals different ways of acting and the reflection on their role in this system. Therefore, this paper discusses the coordination psychological intervention of groups with adolescents in detention units based on an experience report. One can notice the need among these adolescents to report their experiences with drugs, violence and drug trafficking, which constitute what they call the "world of crime". Thus, it is fundamental for the group coordination with adolescents in deprivation of liberty to recognize their histories and experiences, taking into account the ethical stance that the psychologist must assume when conducting the group session, which main goal is to provide an acceptance space for collective discussion and reflection.

Keywords : group; adolescent offenders; socioeducative measures.
