Resumen
This research aims to analyze the punitive pathway taken by youth for committing acts of
offense in Fortaleza, capital city of Ceará, in Brazil. Therefore, we focus the analysis in
institutions that mark the beginning of punitive “institutionalization” of youth in the city, such
as the Child and Adolescent Specialized Police Precinct, the Luis Barros Montenegro Shelter
Unit, the Public Prosecutor’s Office for Childhood and Youth, and the Child and Youth
Court. Ethnography and semi-structured interviews were used as methodological tools to
approach the research subjects and relevant places for the research, seeking to highlight their
punitive perspective. As a result, we find that the punishment and control imposed in such loci
are an extension of the punishment and control used against these same youths in society.
Considering that the analyzed institutions exist in society and are composed by its members,
they do not surpass the perspective of repression, control and punishment carried out towards
a segment of the population, especially towards those that Souza (2011; 2012) called
“subcitizens”.
