Challenges for Juvenile Justice in Brazil: the Reform of the Statute of the Child and Adolescent
Main Article Content
Abstract
Despite its advancements, the Statute of the Child and Adolescent in Brazil left wide discretionary spaces in the scope of the so-called criminal act investigation procedure. In the last years, no law reform of the statute has been achieved in the matter of the treatment of the teenager accused of a crime. Such a reform, far from solving the central matter of the absence of material fundamental rights for the adolescent selected by the justice of infants and youths - that mimics the penal justice, would at least propitiate a formal equanimity of the adolescents in comparison to the adult. This article’s main goal is highlighting the Brazilian experience as well as to present and debate proposals for the Statute of the Child and Adolescent reforms.
