Abstract
GONCALVES, Vitor; SILVEIRA, Andréa Maria and SAPORI, Luís Flávio. Juvenile Justice Arrangements: Configuration of Systems in Assembly Line. Estud. sociol [online]. 2023, vol.41, n.121, pp.121-158. Epub June 09, 2023. ISSN 2448-6442. https://doi.org/10.24201/es.2023v41n121.2131.
The research compares the functioning of juvenile justice in two courts in Minas Gerais (Brazil), one in the capital and another in the interior. The implications of these two models for practices, actors’ decisions, process outcomes and flows were analyzed. Hearings, interviews, reading of the case files and analysis of the outcomes of the proceedings were combined. In the capital, justice works practically “instantaneously”. In the interior, efficiency is guaranteed by agreements and interpersonal connections between agents. Therefore, it was concluded, that both courts work as assembly lines, settled through informal ways. The difference is that, in the capital city, informal interactions are induced by institutional mechanisms, while in the interior, it has an eminently personal content.
Keywords : juvenile justice; loosely coupled justice; assembly line justice; informal interactions; interpersonal connections.
