NATIONAL SYSTEM OF SOCIO-EDUCATIONAL ASSISTANCE AND INTERSECTORAL POLICIES: AN INTEGRATED LOOK AT THE RESOCIALIZATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF YOUNG PEOPLE IN CONFLICT WITH THE LAW

Abstract

The National Socio-Educational Service System (SINASE) in Brazil is a crucial element in addressing issues related to adolescence in conflict with the law. Understanding its dynamics and challenges is fundamental for the development of effective and comprehensive Public Policies. In this context, the analysis of the main actions aimed at strengthening intersectoral interventions emerges as a pressing need. The intersection between different sectors, such as education, health, social assistance and justice, reveals itself as a promising way to promote the resocialization and integral development of adolescents in compliance with socio-educational measures. Therefore, the objective of this study was to analyze the National System of Socio-Educational Assistance in Brazil, aiming to identify the main actions that can contribute to the strengthening of intersectoral actions that promote improvements in the fulfillment of socio-educational measures. An integrative review of scientific literature was carried out that analyzed the current literature of the productions published up to the year 2022. Studies were included in the research that illustrated evidence of the main actions that can contribute to the strengthening of intersectoral actions that promote improvements in the provision of socio-educational measures for adolescents. A total of 9 studies were included in this review. It was observed that intersectoriality in the context of socio-educational measures still needs to be strengthened, especially to mitigate the relationship of risk factors associated with social vulnerability, young black people from the peripheries and lack of access to public policies.  It is essential that socio-educational measures be formulated considering the guidelines of the Statute of the Child and Adolescent, as well as SINASE, being accountable and not punitive. There is an urgent need to strengthen intersectoral actions within the scope of socio-educational measures, particularly with regard to the mitigation of risk factors associated with social vulnerability, striving for strategies that have an accountable and not merely punitive approach, with the central focus not only on resocialization, but also on the full development and social inclusion of adolescents in conflict with the law.
