ASQUIDAMINI, Fabiane; BARBIANI, Rosangela  and  SUGIZAKI, Eduardo. Adolescents under correctional measures: violence or human rights violation? A review on the literature. Rev. Subj. [online]. 2015, vol.15, n.1, pp. 113-123. ISSN 2359-0769.

This study is about a review on Brazilian scientific papers from 2002 to 2012, as to the theme of health care for adolescents under correctional measures which impose restriction and deprivation of freedom. 70 scientific papers were spotted on ADOLEC (Literature on Adolescents) and SciELO databases. A theme-based content analysis methodology was used, which organized the papers in three categories: a) Correctional System; b) Health care for Adolescents; c) Youth violence and e Human rights violation. It has been recognized that certain crosscutting themes were highlighted in the first two categories: the tendency to the psychiatrization and pathologization of adolescence, as a contemporaneous phenomenom. Moreover, it has been noticed that the production in such area has increased quantitatively in the past years.

Keywords : institutionalized adolescent; adolescent's health; institutionalized adolescent's health; adolescents; human rights.
