Trajetória social e criminalização da juventude

Abstract

The profile of the Brazilian prison population demonstrates criminal selectivity: the young poor and young poor are imprisoned. It can be affirmed that the population influx of the Brazilian prison system reflects the result of the social trajectories that were produced within the social and economic vulnerability. This research aimed to analyze the social trajectory of young people and the criminalization of poverty. This academic work is explanatory in nature. We used bibliographic analysis as a research methodology. There are innumerable factors that can affect the social context of the Brazilian black poor youth, leading to the entry of this part of the population into crime, committing, for example, homicides, drug trafficking, robberies. In view of the above, it is assumed that the vulnerability of black youth to criminalization and criminal selectivity is a striking feature of the social situation of youth in the 21st century. We observe the social and racial discrimination related to the black and poor youth of the large and medium Brazilian cities, and this is the reason for the mortification and incarceration work from this bias. It is concluded that discussing youth, poverty and crime required that the social trajectory of the public mentioned with its proximity to the world of crime be related from a sociological perspective, bringing alarming results, such as murder and imprisonment of young people in Brazil of the 21st century. The research made us understand that the mass of young prisoners and black color is a result of the social-historical burden that falls on their trajectory, this through the passage of the generational condition that I acquired from their conviviality in the family environment that came to the middle which is inserted.
