• Abstract:

  The present work is the result of the research “In Fogo Cruzado: The impact of disputes over the management of order between the State and criminal groups on the trajectories of adolescents living in the periphery”, funded by the Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul - FAPERGS and the PUCRS Student Research Scholarship Program - BPA/PUCRS. The study sought to dialogue with young residents and professionals who work in peripheral neighborhoods in the city of Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul. It starts from the idea that these adolescents are directly and indirectly impacted by violence, such as the state's neglect to provide basic services, criminalization and coexistence with criminal groups. Empirical research was carried out at the Reference Centers Specialized in Social Assistance – CREAS. Geographically distant units were chosen with the aim of meeting young people belonging to different territories and with possible relationships with criminal factions.
