| Sumario: | The objective of this article is to denature the uncritical installation of the punitive discourse in matters of juvenile justice. Speaking of juvenile justice or juvenile criminal justice refers to very different patterns of thought, institutional and political articulations. However, it is common to find, in the training processes of different disciplines such as law and specifically social work, the special recurrence to a stereotyped conceptual framework that reduces the issue of the rights of girls, boys and adolescents to two paradigmatic positions: the paradigm of the irregular situation and the paradigm of comprehensive protection. Talking about paradigms refers to the Khuntian epistemological position, which we will discuss in the framework of this work as long as it does not result in a conception about the development of knowledge that we share. In Latin America, this way of conceiving changes in the field of justice has reduced the problem of juvenile justice around the prevailing idea of the need for legal and procedural changes, subsuming the discussions only to the legal-normative order. Choosing to broaden these discussions implies challenges for forensic social work (TSF), which are assumed from the restorative approach that we adopt. |
