Abstract

The project aims to reconstruct aspects of the history of social control institutions in the state of São Paulo designed to control children and adolescents in two different periods. From 1930 to 1960, it seeks to analyze the institutions created for children and adolescents considered to be in a situation of abandonment or offenders. From 2007 to 2014, it seeks to analyze the institutions for young offenders who were in socio-educational detention. The student holder under the project will be in charge of collecting information from the institutional records of adolescents who were confined in Fundação CASA institutions in the period 2007-2014. The fellow collaborate in feeding the database generated for the storage of information. The student will support the responsible team in organizing the official and unofficial documentation of interest to the research. And he will participate in the general activities of the CEPID NEV-USP program "Building Democracy Daily: Human Rights, Violence and Institutional Trust".
