CRIMINAL LAW AND PSYCHOPEDAGOGY: INTERPRETING CHILDREN'S DRAWINGS IN THE SEARCH FOR THE AGGRESTER

Abstract

When interpreting a child's drawing, on can explain what is obscure and transform it into an understandable language, removing from the drawing a meaning that was hidden from the child's understanding as well as from the adults who surround him. The psychopedagogical interpretation of children's drawings transcribes this latent and hidden meaning into a verbal language that is better and easier to understand. Drawing is a simple-to-perform method that can be used to investigate a child's mood, behavior, and character traits, along with their intrapsychic conflicts. In this way, drawing makes up for the individual's difficulty in talking about himself and exposing his fears and problems. Criminal Law protects the legal assets necessary for the survival of society, applies and enforces sanctions. In this bias, when combined with Psychopedagogy, it can reach the aggressor more easily through the interpretation of children's drawings.
