Abstract(s)
A presente dissertação tem como objetivo compreender a relação entre a baixa escolaridade e a delinquência juvenil em adolescentes acompanhados pelo ICCA na ilha de São Vicente. Para isso, adotou-se o paradigma qualitativo, com enfoque num estudo de caso que permitiu o contacto direto com os participantes. Os dados foram recolhidos por meio da observação participante, entrevistas semiestruturadas e anotações de campo, abrangendo adolescentes entre 12 e 17 anos, bem como técnicas da instituição. A análise de conteúdo foi utilizada no tratamento dos dados, possibilitando a identificação de categorias temáticas e padrões nas falas dos entrevistados. Os resultados revelam que a baixa escolaridade está fortemente associada a fatores sociais, económicos e familiares, como negligência parental, pobreza, violência doméstica e ausência de apoio institucional adequado. Destaca-se a influência dos pares e a precariedade do sistema educacional como elementos que contribuem para a evasão escolar e o envolvimento em comportamentos delinquentes. As técnicas e os adolescentes convergem na perceção da escola como um fator protetor, embora existam lacunas estruturais e metodológicas que comprometem sua eficácia. A investigação também identificou limitações nas políticas institucionais de prevenção à delinquência juvenil, reforçando a necessidade de estratégias mais inclusivas e intersectoriais. Conclui-se que o reforço da escolaridade, aliado ao suporte psicossocial e à criação de programas socioeducativos, pode contribuir significativamente para a redução da delinquência juvenil em contextos de vulnerabilidade.
This dissertation aims to understand the relationship between low educational level and juvenile delinquency among adolescents monitored by ICCA on the island of São Vicente. To this end, a qualitative paradigm was adopted, focusing on a case study that allowed direct contact with the participants. Data were collected through participant observation, semi-structured interviews, and field notes, covering adolescents between 12 and 17 years old, as well as technicians from the institution. Content analysis was used to process the data, enabling the identification of thematic categories and patterns in the interviewees' statements. The results reveal that low educational level is strongly associated with social, economic, and family factors, such as parental neglect, poverty, domestic violence, and lack of adequate institutional support. Peer influence and the precariousness of the educational system stand out as factors that contribute to school dropout and involvement in delinquent behavior. Technicians and adolescents converge in the perception of school as a protective factor, although there are structural and methodological gaps that compromise its effectiveness. The research also identified limitations in institutional policies for preventing juvenile delinquency, reinforcing the need for more inclusive and intersectoral strategies. It is concluded that strengthening schooling, combined with psychosocial support and the creation of socio-educational programs, can contribute significantly to reducing juvenile delinquency in vulnerable contexts.
