The unpreparedness of the health care and social services network members, the inadequacy of public policies aimed at youth in the city of Belo Horizonte, and other factors resulting from the dangerousness speech attributed to the youth males received, mostly black and poor, lead to situations of violence and violations of human rights that it has subjective, economic, political, social and cultural implications.
