Estudo do comportamento cognitivo atrelado ao meio social de jovem em conflito com a Lei Internos em um centro socioeducativo da cidade de Belo Horizonte

Abstract

Adolescence is a phase of expressive changes physiologically and socially, orchestrated by hormonal changes and social demands of choices for the future, respectively. In this scenario, the adolescent, motivated by the experiences lived and by the environment that surrounds him, assumes behaviors according to the cultural environment in which he was raised, often generating conflicts between what he knows as adequate and the current legal norms. In this context, the Cognitive Behavioral Theory (CBT) and the Theory of Deviance try to elucidate the motivations that lead the adolescent to commit acts that put him in conflict with the law and reiterate in them even after compliance with socio-educational measures that have as their main function to resocialize him and foster new perspectives for the future away from the means that stimulate him to conflicting choices; moreover, in light of CBT evidenced in aggressive behaviors, apathy and isolation. In this perspective, this research assumed as its main objective to draw a profile of the adolescent in conflict with the law, under the protection of the State, at the Lindeia Reception Center, in Belo Horizonte - MG, in the light of the Theory Cognitive Behavioral and associated with the Theory of Deviance and understand the motivations that lead him to develop suicidal ideation during the fulfillment of the socio-educational measure, in addition to the reiteration at the end of hospitalization. To this end, a sample composed of adolescents between 12 and 15, complying with socio- educational measures in a closed environment, was followed between the years 2019 and 2022, as part of a research conducted by the Federal University of Minhas Gerais in partnership with the Court Justice of Minas Gerais ongoing since 2014. A multidisciplinary team accompanies these adolescents, supporting activities aimed at the resocialization and reintegration of these individuals into the social environment. As part of these activities, some dynamics were applied in order to analyze the perception that these adolescents have about the reality in which they find themselves and the future that they want to build. During the follow-up period, it was possible to notice that these adolescents have a distorted view of the socially accepted one, attributing, for example, a character of legal work to activities considered a contravention by the legislation, such as theft and/or drug trafficking. With this worldview, even after the hospitalization period, these adolescents tend to reiterate, which is configured as a failure in the system of public policies aimed at the care of this portion of society.
