SCHOOL COURSE AND EXPERIENCE OF ADOLESCENTS IN CONFLICT WITH THE LAW: POSSIBLE TRAJECTORIES

ABSTRACT: The school life of Adolescents in Conflict with the Law is characterized by negative indicators. In this regard, Bazon, Silva and Ferrari report a study in which two trajectory patterns related to the schooling experience of juvenile offenders were identified and described. Based on this study, the present study aimed to describe the school experience of Adolescents in Conflict with the Law and understand their school experience. The research, of a qualitative nature, based on a biographical approach, had the collaboration of 12 adolescents. The data collected through interviews were treated through thematic content analysis. The results indicated two school trajectories: Trajectory I - From good to bad school experience and trajectory II - A predominantly negative school experience, although punctuated by positive experiences. The school trajectories found resemble those described by Bazon, Silva and Ferrari, but they add / detail information.
