Violence in schools : a correlational study into the relationship between an Afrocentric orientation and attitudes towards violence among African secondary school learners in Pietermaritzburg, KwaZulu-Natal.Sekhesa, Thabo. 05 May 2014 (has links)
This correlation study investigated the relationship between Africentric values (Collective work and Responsibility, Cooperative Economics and Self determination) as measured by the Children’s Africentric Value Scale (CAVS) (Belgrave, Townsend, Cherry, & Cunningham, 1997) and attitudes towards violence reflected by Culture of Violence and Reactive Violence as measured by the Attitudes Towards Violence Scale: A Measure for adolescents (Funk, Elliot, Urman, Flores, & Mock, 1999) with a sample of 200 secondary school learners in Pietermaritzburg, KwaZulu Natal. There was no statistically significant relationship between the aforementioned Africentric values and attitudes towards violence. Gender was found to be a predictor of Reactive Violence with male participants being more prone to endorse reactive violence. Recommendations for school violence interventions based on Africentric values were also provided and discussed in this study. / Thesis (M.Soc.Sc.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 2011.

Dos sujeitos e lugares da punição : da passagem do/a jovem perigoso/a para o/a jovem em perigo: um estudo das dimensões do dispositivo da gestão dos riscos e de controle social da juventude /Teixeira, Joana D Arc. January 2015 (has links)
Orientador: Luís Antônio Francisco de Souza / Banca: Antonio Mendes da Costa Braga / Banca: Alessandra Teixeira / Banca: Larissa Maués Pelúcio da Silva / Banca: Luis Claudio Lourenço / Resumo: Esta tese investiga as dimensões dos dispositivos de controle social da juventude, de modo a descrever os efeitos da sociedade punitiva nos processos de produção do jovem e da jovem criminalizados/as e dos lugares instituídos para a punição, tendo como espaço privilegiado para descrição, as instituições para jovens do sexo feminino. Especificamente, procura-se identificar, examinar e mapear como se deu a passagem de um sistema tutelar-correcional-repressivo para uma política de Estado, em que se verificam diferentes modalidades punitivas, que demarcam a composição e distribuição dos sujeitos da punição sob a justificativa da gestão dos riscos. Como campo de análise, foram delimitados três períodos distintos na história da constituição do atendimento socioeducativo, desses últimos vinte anos, a saber: (1) o contexto de redemocratização do Brasil de defesa e reconhecimento de jovens como sujeitos de direitos - início da década de 1990 - promulgação e implementação do Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente; (2) no processo de reconfiguração do Sistema socioeducativo de internação: municipalização e descentralização do atendimento no final da década de 1999 - 2010; (3) contexto de reafirmação das políticas de atendimento da Fundação CASA e processo de implementação do SINASE. Para o processo de construção dessa tese foram também priorizadas: a pesquisa de campo e as entrevistas semiestruturadas com as jovens e demais atores que compõem a estrutura do sistema socioeducativo. Em termos teóricos e metodológicos, busca-se, na produção internacional e nacional, a construção teórico- analítica sobre as políticas de governo que se estendem aos jovens e às jovens no sistema socioeducativo, com destaque para o estudo das tendências punitivas a partir de autores que defendem ... (Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo) / Abstract: This thesis investigates the dimensions of social control devices of youth in order to describe the effects of a punitive society in the production processes of the young and young criminalized people and the set up places for punishment, considering the institutions for young women as privileged places for this description. The specific goal is to identify, examine and map the transition of a tutelary-correctional-repressive system into a state policy one, where there are different punitive forms, which delimit the composition and distribution of the subjects of punishment from the risk management justification. Three distinct periods in the constitution in the history of social and educational care of these last twenty years have been defined as an analytical field: (1) re-democratization context of Brazil, advocacy and recognition of young people as subjects of rights - the early 1990; (2) promulgation and implementation of the Statute of Children and Adolescents; (3) process of reconfiguring the socio-educational system of admission: municipalization and decentralization of care, the late 1999 - 2010, reaffirming the context of the CASA Foundation (Socio Foundation Care Centre for Adolescents) service policies and implementation of SINASE (National System of Socio-Education) process. For the constitution and analysis of this thesis, the following points were also prioritized: field survey, semi-structured interviews with young people and other actors that make up the structure of the socio-educational system. In theoretical and methodological terms, the theoretical and analytical construction on government policies that extends to young men and women in social-educational system is sought in the international and national production, especially the study of punitive trends from authors who defend thesis of an ongoing ...

Masculinidades e violências em narrativas de vida de jovens em conflito com a lei /Andrêo, Caio. January 2014 (has links)
Orientador: Leonardo Lemos de Souza / Banca: Marcelo Santana Ferreira / Banca: Wiliam Siqueira Peres / Resumo: O atual protagonismo de jovens do gênero masculino em atos violentos tem sido verificado em diversos estudos e levantamentos que indicam esses sujeitos como principais vítimas e autores de tais atos; sobretudo, nas camadas mais excluídas da população. Embora esses dados não demonstrem nenhuma novidade aparente, a relação entre masculinidades e a violência ainda é pouco problematizada e consequentemente permanece naturalizada, fazendo com que as discussões em torno dos aspectos que podem estar envolvidos nessa relação sejam limitadas. Desse modo, esta pesquisa tem como objetivo descrever o processo de construção de masculinidades e suas interfaces com a violência, com base em narrativas de vida de jovens do gênero masculino, autores de atos infracionais. Para isso, foram entrevistados quatro jovens com idades entre 16 e 18 anos que cumpriam ou já haviam cumprido medidas socioeducativas dentro de uma instituição socioassistencial localizada num município do interior do estado de São Paulo. As entrevistas narrativas, com duração em média entre 30 e 60 minutos, foram gravadas em áudio e posteriormente transcritas. As análises foram feitas com base na concepção de narrativa de Mikhail Bakhtin e Jerome Bruner, e em outros autores que destacam, dentro de uma perspectiva dialógica, as produções narrativas como fontes de discursos capazes de desvelar processos de subjetivação; outro parâmetro analítico foram os estudos sobre masculinidades. Com isso, os resultados sugerem que a relação entre masculinidades e violência se faz presente mais enquanto uma crença do que um fato realmente consumado. Apesar da intensa convivência com a violência, em suas diversas facetas, e com o lugar de um determinado modo de ser homem, baseado na força, na agressividade e na racionalidade, ao longo de suas vidas, as narrativas puderam apontar outros modos de subjetivação que não se conectam... / Abstract: The current protagonism of male gender youths in violent acts have been verified in several studies and appointments that lead them as the main victms and authors of such acts, especially at the underprivileged sections of society. Although this data is not apparently surprising the relation between masculinity and violence has not been focused and, therefore, still be naturalized limiting all discussions concerning this issue. In this way, this survey aims at describing the construction process of masculinities and its interface with violence, taking into account narratives from youths who had commited an offense. For this, we interviewed four teenagers (aged varied from 14 to 16 years old) who had been sent or had already spent time at a young offenders' institution, located in a city in the countryside of São Paulo State. Their narratives took between thirty to sixty minutes and were recorded and then transcribed. The analises were conducted based on the narrative conceptions of Mikhail Bakhtin, Jerome Bruner and other authors who highlight, from a dialogic perspective, narrative productions as sources of discourses which uncover subjetivation processes as well as in studies about masculinities. The results suggest that the relation between masculinities and violence is more of a belief than a fait accompli. In spite of being extremely exposed to violence and its variations, and performing a certain expected way to be man, based on strength, aggressiveness and rationality all over their lives, the narratives pointed out other modes of subjetivation not necessarily connected to being violent, despite of this notion still be present in their discourses about life, the others and himself / Mestre

The influence of exposure to community violence on adolescents' sense of hope within a disadvantaged community in Cape TownSerena Issacs January 2010 (has links)
<p>Violent crime has proven to have profound negative effects, particularly on those living within communities where violence is a dominant feature. The victims often tend to be adolescents, who, while striving for a better future, are often quite vulnerable to its effects. The present study addresses this important social phenomenon which faces the youth of South Africa. There is a growing need to understand the manner in which the ever-increasing exposure of adolescents living in communities which have high rates of violence affects its victims as well as determine those factors which could provide resiliency against those devastating effects. Moreover, this study focuses on adolescents&rsquo / sense of hope as a resiliency factor. The purpose of this research study was to ascertain adolescents&rsquo / understanding of and the meaning they give to exposure to community violence and the extent to which that exposure affects their sense of hope. In this qualitative study, data was collected by means of two, one hour focus groups comprising a total of 14 participants, 14-15 years of age, residing in a community with high rates of violence. The format of the discussion was semi-structured and conducted in English. Various theories were used in order to better describe the information, such as the social learning theory, feminist theory and Bronfenbrenner&rsquo / s ecological model, but the epistemological framework utilized was social constructionism. Ethical principles such as confidentiality and obtaining informed consent were strictly adhered to. The information received from the participants was analyzed using Braun and Clarke&rsquo / s (2006) thematic analysis and presented in two thematic categories with corresponding themes discussed accordingly</p>
