CUNHA, Eliseu de Oliveira  y  DAZZANI, Maria Virgínia Machado. SCHOOL AND ADOLESCENTS IN CONFLICT WITH THE LAW: REVEALING THE PLOTS OF A DIFFICULT RELATIONSHIP. Educ. Rev. [online]. 2016, vol.32, n.1, pp.235-259. ISSN 1982-6621.  https://doi.org/10.1590/0102-4698144008.

This theoretical paper proposes to list and discuss possible reasons for the unfriendliness that, in general, has characterized the relationship between schools and adolescents in conflict with the law in Brazil. To this end, a careful research in the literature concerning the matter was accomplished in order to make this subject visible and analyze critically the historical and social processes from where this tendency came. The historic school alignment with wealthier classes' culture correlated with its typical repulse by low income's class proved to be the backbone of the phenomenon. The majority of these adolescents come from poorer social classes, being the priority target of prejudice, stigma and stereotypes typically assigned to low-income youth. To mitigate this situation, requalification of school practices is required for an effective acceptance of adolescents.

Palabras clave : Adolescents in conflict with the law; Socio-educative measures; Social inequality; Educational inequality.
