Abstract

Adolescence is a transition phase between childhood and adulthood, marked by questioning and constant learning. The education of adolescents is directly linked to the perception and influence of the family and social environment. Therefore, this study investigates the relationship between socioeconomic factors and youth vulnerability to infractions, focusing on students aged 11 to 17 years at the Jonathas Athias School, in Dom Eliseu/PA. The research will analyze the socioeconomic and family profile of adolescents in the 9th grade in the morning, seeking to understand how these conditions influence their involvement in illicit activities and identify the main risk factors associated with juvenile crime. The central problem addressed will be the relationship between the socioeconomic and family context and the vulnerability of these young people. The study will adopt the deductive method, starting from pre-established hypotheses and combining the analysis of qualitative and quantitative data. The legal approach will follow the stages of thesis, antithesis and synthesis, allowing an in-depth understanding of the phenomenon. For data collection, structured questionnaires with closed questions will be applied, in order to obtain objective and systematized information.
