O Esporte e o Lazer em Contextos de Medidas Socioeducativas no Brasil: Panorama e Análise da Produção Científica

This study aims to highlight the panorama of research related to sport and leisure for juvenile offenders, who are in youth detention center in Brazil. Therefore, we selected 9 scientific papers and 5 Master thesis by a targeted search in the journals of CAPES, SciELO Database, Google Academics and Banco de Teses e Dissertacoes of CAPES. The results of the research were analyzed with the method of content analysis. Through the categories of analysis, it was observed that sport and leisure, when treated as pathways and objects of education provide environments favorable to the positive development of adolescents, although they are conceived in functional and utilitarian logic by a large part of the institutions and adolescents. It is concluding that the restricted understanding from adolescents about the potentials of sport and leisure is closely linked to the lack of access to these policies in their trajectories.
