A escola, como um espaço de socialização e de transmissão do conhecimento historicamente acumulado, assume um importante papel na construção da identidade do adolescente, tanto no que se refere à reposição de identidades estigmatizadas, como nas possibilidades de ressignificações com sentido emancipador. Assim, amparado nos pressupostos teórico-metodológicos da perspectiva histórico-cultural, na qual a singularidade é entendida como um produto da história das condições sociais e materiais do indivíduo, esse estudo tem por objetivo compreender, por meio do método do materialismo histórico dialético, a construção da identidade de adolescentes autores de atos infracionais e o papel da escola nesse processo. Trata-se, portanto, de um estudo qualitativo, que se utilizou de três principais fontes de coletas de dados, quais sejam: os registros dos Livros de Ocorrência Escolares (LOE) das escolas, os processos judiciais disponibilizados pela Vara da Infância e Juventude, bem como as entrevistas semi-estruturadas com os adolescentes. A análise dos dados, por sua vez, foi feita a partir de núcleos de significação apreendidos nos discursos dos adolescentes, em conjunto com a análise documental de dados já coletados por uma pesquisa maior, da qual o presente estudo faz parte. Os dados da pesquisa demonstraram que a escola é um lugar, para maioria destes adolescentes, de reposição de identidade estigmatizada, que sitentiza, antes do ato infracional, na figura do aluno problema e após o ato na figura de aluno infrator. Outras possibilidades de identidades com sentido emancipador lhes são, muitas vezes, negadas. Isso demonstra, portanto, o importante papel mediador da escola na constituição da identidade dos adolescentes autores de atos infracionais, tanto no sentido de repor identidades estigmatizadas por meio de preconceitos e estigmas, como de possibilitar identidades emancipadoras, de maneira a transformar e ressignificar suas trajetórias escolares negativas.
The school, as a space of socialization and transmission of historically accumulated knowledge, assumes an important role in the construction of the identity of the adolescent, both as regards the replacement of stigmatized identities, as in the possibilities of resignification with an emancipatory sense. Thus, based on the theoretical-methodological assumptions of the historical-cultural perspective, in which the singularity is understood as a product of the history of the social and material conditions of the individual, this study aims to understand, through the method of dialectical historical materialism, the construction of the identity of adolescents responsible for delinquency episodes and the role of the school in this process. It is therefore a qualitative study that used three main sources of data collection, namely: the records of School Occurrences Books (LOE) of the schools, the judicial processes made available by the Child and Youth Court, as well as semi-structured interviews with adolescents. Data analysis was based on clusters of meaning seized in the discourses of adolescents, together with the documentary analysis of data already collected by a larger research, of which the present study is part. The research data showed that the school is a place, for most of these adolescents, to replace stigmatized identity, which situates, before the infraction act, the figure of the “problem student” - and after the act - in the figure of the “offender student”. Other possibilities of identities with an emancipatory sense are often denied to them. This demonstrates, therefore, the important mediating role of the school in the constitution of the identity of the adolescents responsible for infractions, both in the sense of restoring stigmatized identities through stigma and prejudice, and of enabling emancipatory identities that transform and resignify their negative school trajectories.

The prevalence of adolescents’ delinquent behaviors was 20% in Taiwan. The impact of adolescents’ delinquent behaviors severely affects adolescents, their family, and the society. Given the high prevalence of adolescent’s delinquency, adolescents’ perception and explanation on the experience and the consequences of their delinquent behaviors are important to investigate. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of adolescents having delinquent behaviors. Hermeneutic Phenomenology was used in this qualitative study. Purposive sampling was used to recruit 7 juvenile offenders from a juvenile detention house in southern Taiwan. Data were collected by individual in-depth interviews. Each interview lasted about 90-100 minutes. Data were analyzed by thematic analysis. Three themes were merged from 11 interviews: (1) lacking self-respect; (2) exploring self-identity through delinquency; and (3) searching a dim light in the tunnel. In the journey of exploring their self-identity, adolescents experienced disrespects from others and strived for respect, attention, and care by being delinquent. In the delinquent world, adolescents obtained temporary respect and self-identity, and felt a sense of belongingness. On the other hand, adolescents also experienced a conflict between self value and social norms, and struggled to escape from the dark tunnel. The unconditional love and support from families are the foundations to assist adolescents keeping hope and courage to overcome any possible obstacles in the future. The findings of this study suggest professionals working with juvenile offenders need to be sensitive to observe and realize the real needs and deficiencies of adolescents’ delinquent behaviors, and assist adolescents to find a positive self-identity and prevent from future delinquency.

Under the wave of globalization and following the immigrating population of foreign spouses, the number of children of foreign spouses is on the rise gradually and the population grows rapidly. The population structure starts to change when some of the children of foreign spouses enter into the age of junior high schools.Their adaptation to the environment and development in social control and self-control becomes one of the focuses on social issues. The children of foreign spouses experience cross-culture impact and whether if such impact could result in deviant behaviors, merits further study. The study discusses the association between ethnic identity, social control and self-reporting deviant behaviors based on criminological theory. The study adopts self-reporting questionnaire and codes the questionnaire after recovery. The sample scope consists of 237 children of foreign spouses attending the 7th to 9th grade of junior high schools in Taoyuan County, were selected by quota sampling. The samples were analyzed using SPSS 12 and tested with statistical methods including the Chi Square Test of Independence, the Pearson's correlation, t test, and one-way ANOVA. The results attained are described in the follows: 1. Family control is subject to influence from family structure: The education of father has influence over mother control, while father’s financial income has influence over mother control, peer attachment, and school control. The financial income of mothers has influence over mother control, family interactions, and peer attachment. Ethnic gender has significant difference over mother control, school control and peer attachment. 2. The ethnic identity for children of foreign spouses has mediator effect for social control influenced deviant behaviors and the ethnic identity for children of foreign spouses has mediator effect over low self-control influenced deviant behavior. In view of the theoretical implications, the roles and functions of father and mother in a family structure has influence over deviant behavior while ethnics is regarded as the strong factor for crime forecasting, because ethnic groups contain profound ethnic-culture and value-based belief ecology system. In other words, “ethnics” that affect culture, language, custom, and belief, is one of the factors for crime forecasting. Social control shows important impact on the occurrence of deviant behavior through ethnic identity. Children of foreign spouses hold ethnic identity towards their mothers can affect the degree of social bond on their children with respect to emotional attachment. Ethnic identity shows influence on the improvement of language tool use, flow of emotional expression, interpersonal skills, and low self-control over deviant behaviors. Improving links of social bond is the best prevention treatment when facing with an environment flooded with diverse crime incentives. Currently the social-political and educational system have already offered consultation and education to foreign spouses as well as providing after-class counseling for economically disadvantaged groups. The paper recommends a combination of private-sector resources with mutual cooperation to organize activities related to cross-cultural field of learning and to overturn biasing and ideology, respect and tolerate diverse culture. For family communities, strengthen parental relationship and parental education to improve the living environment and enhance community cohesion by creating a friendly environment.

Full textThe young offender's criminal behaviour exerts enormous damage to the social and economical aspects of the country. Exploring the identity construction of young offenders, the decisions and choices they make in breaking into strangers' houses, stealing and hijacking other people's cars, is the focus of this study. Attention will also be focused on exploring how the criminal "career" affects and is affected by their identity construction. It is also the purpose of this study to explore what could be attracting the young offender to embark on a criminal expedition, in spite of the consequences of such activities, which appear to be uninviting and uncomfortable. The study comes about as a result of the misery and 6 trauma experienced by victims of the young offender's criminal activities (Clifford, 1974). People spend a lot of money improving the security systems in their properties with the purpose of barring the offenders from entering their premises, or taking the cars away from them. This, however, does not seem to work most of the time as it has in some cases contributed to the offenders also improving their skills on how to commit crime. There is increased surveillance in department stores, insurance premiums are high and there is an increase in the cost of goods and services. It seems that as crime escalates, more young people are sent to prison. Society also feels that prison is the best option for the young offender. Others would like the death sentence to be imposed to deal with the crime problem. At the moment, prisons are overcrowded with young people, who will be released in a few years' time. The question is whether, at the time of their release will they be able to be reintegrated back to society. What kind of people are we expecting them to be when they become adults? What role will they play in the functioning of the community? Probably the community needs to be informed about what happens in prison, for there is a general assumption that prison is a rehabilitative institution. It is seen as a place where we get rid of troublemakers, who on their release have become good citizens with a brighter future. People perceive a prison as a place that rehabilitates offenders and helps reintegrate them back into society. Whether the prison pursues and achieves this purpose needs to be seen. However, the high rate of recidivism leaves much to be desired. Cronje'et al. (1976) in their study found that a large number of young offenders became recidivists or recidivism can be traced back to juvenile offences
