THE COMPLEXITY OF IMPLEMENTING PUBLIC POLICIES ON HUMAN RIGHTS EDUCATION: ADOLESCENT PERPETRATORS OF INFRACTIONS

Abstract

This article unveils the complexity of the implementation of public policies on human rights by presenting the life trajectory of 15 teenagers who commit criminal acts in the interior of São Paulo-SP. It dialogues with the life stories of adolescents in an attempt to understand the mechanisms of violence and exclusion to which they are exposed, the sluggishness of social justice and to whom human rights are intended. The methodological foundation used in an articulated way the Oral History of Life and the Thematic Oral History, highlighting fragments of the adolescents' stories with the scope of understanding the social context in which they are inserted, reproduction of apprehended educational processes, the reproduction of prejudice arising at school and the ineffectiveness of protective public policies. The main theorists were Michel Maffesoli, Michel Foucault, José Carlos Sebe Bom Meihy, Alberto Lins Caldas, who demonstrate the uniqueness of the histories of human lives and formation.
