Abstract

This article aims to analyze the way in which relatives of murdered youths have been portrayed in the literature that discusses juvenile lethal violence. As specific objectives, it is proposed to analyze discursive productions of scientific articles on the repercussions of juvenile homicides on the relatives of the victims, understanding how this theme has been approached in productions in the field of psychology. For that, a systematic review of literature on the subject was carried out, using the following descriptors: Homicide, Family, Young. Aiming at amplifying the results, searches were performed with variations of these descriptors. Searches were made on the CAPES and PePsic platform in April 2018. Sixteen articles produced between 2005 and 2017 were selected, which dealt with the impacts of juvenile homicides on the daily life of their families. The results were presented from the following topics: The place of the relatives in the productions; Psychosocial repercussions on the relatives of murdered youth; and Implications of Psychology in the discussions on the impacts of juvenile homicide on family members.
