O ato infracional como expressão da vulnerabilidade social no atendimento da justiça restaurativa

Abstract

This paper investigates restorative justice in the care of adolescents who committed an infraction from a context of social vulnerability. We conducted semi-structured interviews with teenagers, family members, facilitators, and members of the social protection network of four Brazilian cities: Caxias do Sul-RS, Ponta Grossa-PR, Belem-PA, and Santarem-PA. The participants testimonies were correlated with secondary quantitative data available in databases. We conclude that tackling the conditions of social vulnerability through intersectoral articulation is a necessity in restorative juvenile justice.
