MILITARY POLICE APPROACH TO ADOLESCENTS FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF HUMAN RIGHTS

Abstract

One of the missions of the military police is to respond to incidents involving juvenile offenders. There are the most diverse actions they commit, from simple acts of fact to heinous crimes, such as rape, trafficking, robbery, etc. With the advent of the Child and Adolescent Statute, new rules for protecting and not exposing the image of children and adolescents who commit infractions were disciplined. The Military Police must be aware of these rules, so as not to incur Abuse of Authority, or other criminal offenses. The objective of this study is to explain the concepts of the military police approach and its correlation with the Child and Adolescent Statute, especially in the part that deals with infractions and adolescent offenders. The question is: Currently, is the military police approach, within military police techniques, when applied to teenagers violating the law, within the law, or would it be an abuse of authority? Qualitative methodology will be used, researching books, newspapers, articles, the internet, searching for studies by other authors on the topic, in order to understand the question above.
