Abstract

This study aims to understand how the social, economic and cultural aspects of the young people’s lives in conflict with the law are appearing in psychology articles. The data was collected on the databases Scielo and Pepsic between 1999 and 2018. The descriptors used were young, in conflict with the law and offenders. Eight articles that focused on the theme were selected according to the objectives of this study. The main results found are about these young people families organization, that are mostly single-parent families, which means that are formed just by the mother, the school evasion high rates, the repentance and the precocious contact with illicit drugs. We also saw the low amount of recent studies about the theme since only two of the eight articles selected date back to five years ago. The elaboration of new studies on the theme is also necessary to the development of politics suitable to the reality of these children and young people in social vulnerability situations
