SCHOOL AMBIVALENCE AND ADOLESCENT OFFENDERS

ABSTRACT

We propose a reflection about the ambivalence of the school about adolescents with infringing trajectory. Our problem is to demonstrate how the school operates as a place of exclusion, operating from the segregated logic of cultural privilege. The method was a critical review of the scientific production of psychology and sociology, using as descriptors “education” and “adolescent in conflict with the law” on the SciELO and Pepsic platforms. In the results, we found that school dropout rates coincide with the entry of adolescents’ trajectory in the criminal context, strengthening stigma and exclusion. We ask if even exclusionary and so precarious would this formal school not be better than the non-school. After analyzing the literature, we defend the hypothesis that the school can function as a loop that offers a point of support, protection and reference for adolescents with an infringing trajectory, even though its model is anachronistic in relation to the effective exercise of this possibility.
