“…In Brazil, a country with extreme levels of income inequality, the number of adolescents sentenced to socio-educational measures increased about 100% in 1 year, from 96,000 in 2018 to 189,000 in 2019. The discussion of punishment for youth transgression, however, is usually framed by the mistaken perception of adolescents as the main cause of violence rather than as victims, and that existing laws excessively protect juvenile offenders ( Brondani and Arpini, 2021 ). As a result, Brazilian legislators proposed an amendment to the constitution to lower the APM from 18 to 16 years ( Vavassori and Toneli, 2015 ; Petry and Nascimento, 2016 ).…”

“…Since most juvenile criminal defendants in Brazil come from the lowest socioeconomic echelons of society, this measure would probably combine with a life history marked by neglect and precarious living conditions to trap them in an endless circle of poverty and recidivism ( Petry and Nascimento, 2016 ; Brondani and Arpini, 2021 ). If the measure is eventually approved, adolescent transgressors could end up being incarcerated in adult penal facilities, which in Brazil are notorious for violence and bad living conditions in general ( Constantino et al, 2016 ; Butler et al, 2018 ), in the middle of circuit building between the PFC and the amygdala in their brains ( Tottenham and Gabard-Durnam, 2017 ).…”

The growth of urban violence in Brazil, as in other countries, has led citizens to demand more severe and punitive measures to solve the problem of juvenile crime. One motion submitted to the Brazilian parliament, for instance, proposes to reduce the age of penal majority (APM) from 18 to 16 years. Our hypothesis is that popular opinions about this proposal are largely constrained by construal levels and psychological distance. Accordingly, we expect that the knowledge and proximity to the circumstances associated with juvenile transgression will influence opinions about the proposal. To test this hypothesis, we evaluated how opinion against or for the proposal can be explained by psychological distance and moral development theory. We studied two samples, composed of people who do not have a deep experience with the subject (passersby in a public square (N = 77) and workers from a juvenile justice court (N = 157). After collecting socio-demographic information from the subjects and their answer to moral dilemmas, the data was subjected to a multivariate analysis by multimodal logistic regression for socio-demographic characteristics, Kohlberg moral stages, and opinion on the reduction of APM (agree, indifferent, and disagree) as dependent variables. Our findings suggest that 1) opinion about the APM depends on psychological distance and 2) socioeconomic variables may influence the average construal level of adolescent transgressors in the public's perspective.

National surveys of professionals in the juvenile justice system indicate that there are more obstacles than facilitators in their daily work. In addition, the guidelines available in official documents about the juvenile justice system are general and do not offer clear indications about the content and methods of intervention based on scientific evidence. This study sought to contribute to the understanding of this universe, identifying, describing and analyzing the conceptions of professionals who work directly in detention institutions, about interventions in this area. To this end, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 38 professionals, from different positions, in juvenile justice system units of internment and semi-liberty, in the state of São Paulo. Thematic analysis was used on the content of the interviews, with the help of the Iramuteq software. Four classes, subdivided into two subcorpus, were generated: A - The causes of involvement and reoffending, with Class 1 - Between the adolescent and the professional and Class 4 - Emphasis on the family; and B - Professional activities, with Class 2 - Psychosocial area and Class 3 - Educational area. The data were interpreted in light of the Risk-Need-Responsiveness Model and the current literature on the socio-educational system, indicating that the professionals' perception is partially aligned with the evidence regarding aspects that guarantee the effectiveness of the system, as it does not achieve a complex understanding of the phenomenon with which it works, denoting a low level of specialization in its care and the presence of a punitive bias.
