On the edge of the image: Guiding the lenses to the individual service plan

Abstract

This article seeks to unveil Brazilian Public Policies in the establishment of norms, which in practice act as mechanisms of violence and social exclusion, and are not welcoming to those who are socially marginalized. A qualitative analysis with documental bias revealed Education and Socioeducation actions through secondary source documents, namely, the Individual Service Plan (o Plano Individual de Atendimento − PIA). Four thematic markers were identified which deal with school, work, gender and family. The results revealed that the absence of a political-economic structure can generate family disorders which negatively impact school performance, concluding that the variables are related to the offending behavior of adolescents.
