PAULA, Liana de. From the “issue of minors” to the guarantee of rights: Discourses and practices concerning the involvement of adolescents with urban crime. Civitas, Rev. Ciênc. Soc. [online]. 2015, vol.15, n.1, pp.27-43. ISSN 1984-7289.  https://doi.org/10.15448/1984-7289.2015.1.16937.

This paper aims to present and discuss the discourses and practices that seek to organize, explain and intervene in the involvement of adolescents with the urban crime. The paper analyses the use of poverty as a key category to explain this involvement. In addition, it identifies the reinterpretations of that category throughout the twentieth century, until the current relation between poverty and guarantee of rights, proposed in the Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente (Statute of Children and Adolescents).

Palavras-chave : Adolescents; Poverty; Urban crime; Guarantee of rights; Statute of Children and Adolescents.
