Description
Summary:This work aims to reflect on the way in which childhood in Brazil has been systematically judicialized and potentially treated as an offender throughout its history. In this way, it attempts to shed light on this issue, problematizing how this process has influenced private life and affected the perception of rights and duties of the citizen, delegating to the judicial body the role of resolving daily demands, interfering in the educational function of families. In this sense, it seeks to think about how the conception of childhood and adolescence has been progressively transformed, becoming more and more subject to legal actions and in breach of the established rules.
