ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Juvenile offenders have certain characteristics, which separate them from the law abiding young people. These characteristics, together with the subcultures inside prison in which they become socialized, can cause dysfunctional development, which in turn can lead to recidivism. To approach this client system and plan intervention according to the ecological perspective, the social worker needs to be equipped with a certain knowledge base. Firstly, knowledge is necessary about the profile of the juvenile offender. Secondly, the social worker has to understand the impact that a prison environment can have on the juvenile. Thirdly, it is also important that the worker knows how these factors can influence the intervention process and also be aware of different methods to strengthen the social functioning of the juvenile in pnson. This study endeavours to create a scientifically based framework for the development of a strategy for intervention with the juvenile offender, in order to bring about appropriate social functioning and by doing this, reduce recidivism. The research includes aspects of all three the recognized types of research, namely: exploratory, descriptive and explanatory. The profile of the juvenile offender, as well as ways in which the prison environment impacts on his development was determined by means of interviews and described in terms of the effect it might have on the intervention process. The respondents consisted of 11 ex juvenile offenders. Conclusions and recommendations were made which focussed, amongst others, on the various phases in the group work process and the development of knowledge regarding the juvenile offender. This research report can be utilized by social workers for effective intervention with juvenile offenders in prison.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Jeugoortreders het sekere karaktereienskappe wat hul van wetsgehoorsame jeugdiges onderskei. Hierdie karaktertrekke, tesame met die gevangeniskultuur waarbinne hul gesosialiseer word, veroorsaak disfunksionele ontwikkeling wat weer na residivisme kan lei. Om volgens 'n ekologiese perspektief intervensie met hierdie kliëntsisteem te benader, is dit eerstens noodsaaklik dat die maatskaplike werker die profiel van die jeugmisdadiger ken. Tweedens is dit nodig dat die werker die impak van die gevangenisomgewing op die jeugdige verstaan. Derdens is dit belangrik dat die werker weet hoe hierdie faktore op die hulpverleningsproses kan impakteer en ook bewus moet wees van verskeie metodes om die jeugdige in die gevangenis se maatskaplike funksionering te beïnvloed. Hierdie studie bevat kenmerke van al drie die erkende navorsingsdoelstellings, naamlik verkenning, beskrywing en verklaring. Die ondersoek het ten doel om 'n wetenskaplik gefundeerde raamwerk daar te stel vir die ontwikkeling van 'n intervensiestrategie ten opsigte van jeugmisdadigers in die gevangenis, ten einde funksionele maatskaplike funksionering mee te bring en sodoende residivisme te verminder. Die profiel van die jeugmisdadiger en die impak van die omgewing op sy ontwikkeling is deur middel van onderhoude bepaal en beskryf in terme van die invloed wat dit op die intervensieproses kan hê. Respondente in die navorsing het uit elf vrygelate jeugmisdadigers bestaan. Gevolgtrekkings en aanbevelings is gemaak wat onder andere gefokus het op die verskeie fases in die groepwerkproses en ontwikkeling van kennis oor die betrokke kliëntsisteem. Hierdie navorsingsverslag sal deur maatskaplike werkers benut kan word vir effektiewe hulpverlening aan jeugdiges in die gevangenis.

Abstract: En los años sesenta surgieron en España varios movimientos o subculturas juveniles que influenciaron a varias prácticas comunicativas. La principal meta del lenguaje juvenil es diferenciarse de la lengua estándar y, por eso, la mayoría de los movimientos juveniles tienen un argot que se refiere a temas como las drogas, el sexo y la música, ya que estos temas son las principales formas de huida de la cultura oficial por parte de los jóvenes. El lenguaje de los jóvenes se caracteriza como tal sobre todo en el plano lexicológico y en la morfología, pero también en el plano sintáctico se pueden observar unos rasgos interesantes. Esta tesina prueba la afirmación de que la mayoría de las palabras y expresiones jergales en el lenguaje juvenil de la obra Historias del Kronen están, de una u otra manera, relacionadas con el sexo. El propósito del estudio es intentar averiguar qué tipos de palabras y expresiones de dicho lenguaje caracterizan esta jerga. El resultado está presentado en dos partes: la primera muestra la distribución de los términos entre once fenómenos lexicológicos, morfológicos y sintácticos, y la segunda muestra la distribución de los términos entre los temas que se pudieron distinguir en la investigación. Del resultado del estudio se han sacado conclusiones como que el lenguaje juvenil consiste, en gran parte, en préstamos de otras jergas españolas; de que la lengua extranjera que más influye en el lenguaje juvenil es la inglesa; de que el uso de vulgarismos y palabras de connotación baja es un elemento importante para los jóvenes en su intento de alejarse de la lengua oficial; y de que la mayoría de las palabras y expresiones jergales sacadas de Historias del Kronen muestran, de alguna manera, una relación con lo sexual. Hipótesis, objetivo y propósito: La hipótesis de mi estudio es que la mayoría de las palabras y expresiones jergales en el lenguaje de los jóvenes de la obra estudiada están, de una u otra manera, relacionadas con el sexo. Mi objetivo es analizar y tipificar las palabras y expresiones jergales que se usan en el lenguaje juvenil en la obra Historias del Kronen, de José Ángel Mañas (1994) con el propósito de intentar de averiguar qué tipos de palabras y expresiones del lenguaje juvenil caracterizan esta jerga.

Manifiesta que en la actualidad las sociedades evolucionan ante los nuevos estímulos que imperan en el mundo, por ello está presenciando que en los últimos años, han surgido tribus urbanas de adolescentes que buscan diferenciarse a través de algún estilo estético e ideológico. En Chile en la década de los 90’ época de democracia, el país se apertura al resto del mundo, logrando el acceso de los chilenos a diferentes culturas principalmente europeas como norteamericanas, donde abundaban agrupaciones juveniles desafiantes con estilos de tribu urbana. En la Región de Arica y Parinacota, en la actualidad en los liceos, los educadores se enfrentan a la presencia de adolescentes con estilos de vida de tribus urbanas quienes se presentan en el liceo con los pelos de punta, con los ojos delineados con negro, llenos de perforaciones de objetos metálicos que sobresalen de los rincones más insólitos de su cuerpo, pulseras, colores, gestos, movimientos, expresiones, etc. Por ello, para conocer a fondo la formación de grupos o tribus en los liceos de Arica Parinacota se realizó una investigación descriptiva exploratoria sobre la existencia de agrupaciones juveniles con características de tribus urbanas en los liceos de Arica, a fin de iniciar los registros de estudios en esta área, que sirvan como referencia a nuevos investigadores del tema, entre otras aplicaciones.

Associado ? subcultura punk e ao estilo musical punk hardcore, surge na d?cada de 1980 o movimento Emocore (termo que significa Emotional Hardcore), que pretendia reformular a imagem de viol?ncia e descompromisso outrora reproduzida pelo punk, abordando tem?ticas que diziam respeito aos sentimentos e conflitos pessoais e resgatando a est?tica punk rock. O Emocore ganha espa?o na sociedade como uma subcultura e ? tomada pela ind?stria midi?tica como uma possibilidade de mercado de consumo, reproduzindo entre os jovens uma identidade marcada por fashionismos, estilos e gostos pr?prios ao grupo que fazem refer?ncia ao legado do punk e do rock (prefer?ncia pela cor preta, t?nis All Star e acess?rios com rebites) e ?s tend?ncias ditadas pela moda (franjas compridas, cabelos coloridos, maquiagem tamb?m entre os rapazes), em conson?ncia ao que prop?e o mass media. Al?m disso, os jovens emos apresentam uma exacerba??o das demonstra??es afetivas entre os pares, da melancolia e da tristeza. Por esta est?tica e comportamento frente ao que ? dado socialmente, acabam muitas vezes sendo alvo do estigma social, manifestado tamb?m por atos de viol?ncia, seja f?sica ou moral. Nesta perspectiva, o que se percebeu foi a diminui??o do grupo emo em ambientes de conv?vio social, tais como shopping center e pra?as locais. Em entrevistas realizadas com jovens ex-emos, o que se p?de constatar foi a fluidez da identidade entre adolescentes que se diversificam frente ao que ? apresentado como possibilidade de consumo e de estilo de vida pela ind?stria fonogr?fica. Foram citados pontos de constru??o subjetiva Emocore, como o fortalecimento dos la?os fraternais, o sentimentalismo como elemento de identifica??o grupal, o sofrimento, a viol?ncia, o estigma, a sexualidade, a ?emodinha? e a est?tica diferente. Envolvido a tudo isso, h? o elemento musical, constantemente resgatado no discurso dos jovens em conversa como o modelo para suas identifica??es. Concluindo, o Emotional Hardcore dos anos 2000 foi um fen?meno modista, uma identidade juvenil baseada no jogo de influ?ncia do mass media.
Associated to punk subculture and to punk hardcore music, emerges in the 1980?s the Emocore subculture (term that means Emotional Hardcore), that intended reformulate the image of violence and lack of commitment once reproduced by punk, broaching subjects about respect for feeling and personal conflicts, redeeming punk rock esthetics. Emocore takes space in society as a subculture and it is taken by media industry as a consumption?s market possibility, reproducing among teenagers an identity marked by fashion tendencies, styles and own tastes to group that mention to legacy of punk and rock (preference for black, All Star sneakers and accessories such as studs) and to tendencies defined by fashion (long bangs, colored hair, make-up for boys), according to mass media purposes. Besides, young emos present exacerbation of affective statements between pairs, melancholy and sadness. Due to esthetics and behavior opposite to what is socially given, they end up being targets of social stigma, expressed through moral or physical violence acts. In this perspective, it was noticed the reduction of emo group in places of social contact, such as shopping center and local squares. After the interview achievement with ex-emos, it was found identity?s fluidity among teenagers that diversifies themselves for what is presented as consumption?s and lifestyle?s possibility by phonographic industry. It was quoted points of Emocore subjective construction, like strengthening of fraternal bounds, emotionalism as element of group identification, suffering, violence, stigma, sexuality, ?emodinha? and different esthetics. Involved with all that, there is the musical element, constantly redeemed on speeches of interviewed teenagers as the model for their identifications. Concluding, Emotional Hardcore in the 2000?s was a fashion phenomenon, an youth identity based on game of influences of mass media.

Ungdomsbrottsligheten i Sverige är ett stort problem enligt svensk nyhetsmedia, och vi möts av nyhetsrapportering om att våldsbrott bland unga blir allt vanligare och att det sker att oftare. Narkotikamissbruk, vandalisering, misshandel och organiserad brottslighet är skenande hos unga lagöverträdare. Det svenska rättssystemet saknar verktygen att lösa denna situation, då ungdomskriminella ofta är återfallsförbrytare. Det är bara en tidsfråga innan du faller offer för den här kriminella vågen. Är det här den verklighet vi lever i, eller är det en verklighet som nyhetsmedia väljer att visa genom att skapa sin egen bild av verkligheten? Resultaten av denna studie visar att svensk nyhetsmedia följer en egen agenda och använder några återkommande diskurser för att uppnå detta. Genom att använda en kritisk diskursanalys kommer författarna till denna studie undersöka hur svensk nyhetsmedia beskriver unga lagöverträdare.
Juvenile delinquency is a big problem in Sweden according to the news media. The newsreports that violent crime among youths is occurring frequently, now more than ever before. Drug use, vandalism, abuse, and organized crime is rampant among the criminal youth. The Swedish justice system is powerless to resolve this issue, as reoffenders are a common occurrence among the criminal youth. It is only a matter of time before you fall victim to this criminal wave. Is this the reality we live in, or is what the news media wants to portray by constructing their own version of reality? The findings of this study show that the news media are pursuing their own agenda and are using an occurring set of discourses as their means. The authors of this study are, through a critical discourse analysis, investigating how the news media are describing the criminal youth in Sweden.

The term ‘ducktail’ was originally used to denote a hairstyle. In the Post World War Two period, ‘Ducktail’ became associated with a rebellious white youth gang subculture, which rose to prominence in the major urban centres throughout South Africa. Societal responses to the subculture’s identity resulted in the generation of a moral panic which demonised the movement branding it as – amongst other things – the ‘eendstert euwel’ [ducktail evil]. The major aim of this thesis is to account for the way in which members of the subculture constructed and practised their class, racial, ethnic, gendered and generational identities whilst highlighting how society responded to them. The relationship of conformity, conflict and control that emerged between the ducktails and more conventional members of society such as the authorities and academics is plotted. This relationship sets the context for the final part of the dissertation, which explores the moral guardians and rule creators that became involved in the designing of youth policies. Particular attention will be given to how the ‘problem of youth’ brought religion, working mothers, morality, the state of the nation and the preservation of white supremacy under question. In this process, the National Party government formulated policies to monitor, shape and construct an appropriate form of South African whiteness.

É nosso objectivo, na investigação que dá corpo a esta dissertação, explorarmos as comunidades de cosplay em Portugal, assim como o seu significado e contributo para a vida dos jovens portugueses. A análise deste estudo centra-se no desenvolvimento de sociabilidades na subcultura cosplay tendo como áreas de análise a cultura participativa em ambas as dimensões, online e offline; a criação de identidades subculturais que se encontram ancoradas em dinâmicas de consumos colectivos e singulares comuns aos participantes da comunidade cosplay com particular foco na cultura popular japonesa; e a aprendizagem de novas competências que surgem do envolvimento em comunidade, tais como sociais, artísticas e profissionais atribuindo aos participantes um carácter empreendedor, autodidata, e hipersocial capazes de sustentar e gerir por si próprios o desenvolvimento da subcultura cosplay.
It is our objective, in the research that embodies our investigation to explore the cosplay communities in Portugal and its significance and contribution to the lives of Portuguese young people. The analysis of this study focuses on the development of sociabilities in the cosplay subculture as having areas of analysis such as participatory culture in both dimensions, online and offline; the creation of subcultural identities that are rooted in the dynamics of collective and singular forms of consumption common to cosplay community participants with particular focus on Japanese popular culture; and learning new skills that come from being involved in the community, such as social, artistic and professional, assigning participants with an entrepreneur character, self-taught, and hypersocial able to sustain and manage by themselves the development of cosplay subculture.

In r.he context of family instability, inadequate schooling, massive youth unemployment and severe residential overcrowding, juvenile delinquency became rampant in Witwatersrand townships during the 1930s. By the mid 1940s the I'tsotsis", a criminal, male-dominated youth gang subculture with its own distinctively urban style, ritual and language, had entrenched itself amongst urbanised township communities Tsotsis angrily rejected both hegemonic whlte middle class values and the apparently acquiescent culture of their parents. Tsotsi style, which drew heavily on American cinema imagery, expressed a denial of cultural consensus in urban society. Tsotsi gangs preyed materially off township residents and distanced themselves from political activity or community affairs. However, around 1959-60 tsotsis were attracted to the radical, machismo, aggressively anti-establishment politics of the Pan-Africanist Congress. The subculture dissolved during the 1960s as a result of police crackdowns, expanded state schooling and improved employment opportunities for urban youth.

A presente dissertação propõe-se a investigar a contribuição da prática de skate para a construção de identidade em subculturas juvenis em espaços urbanos. Será realizada uma contextualização histórica da prática de skate em Portugal e no mundo. Com base em conceitos como identidade (Giddens, 1997), subcultura (Becker, 1991) e Tribos Urbanas (Maffesoli, 1998), procurou-se enquadrar a pratica de skate no contexto urbano e definir qual o perfil dos praticantes de skate, De forma a atingir esses objectivos, a metodologia aplicada triangulou várias técnicas, nomeadamente, análise documental, observação, entrevistas e histórias de vida. Os resultados indicam que a prática do skate é resultado de uma apropriação dos espaços urbanos e da utilização das suas características arquitectónicas, o que por vezes constitui uma fonte de conflito social. A maioria dos praticantes de skate em Portugal são jovens de sexo masculino que vivem em meio urbano e pertencem a meios sócio-económicos favorecidos. Em termo identitário, os skaters definem-se, não só pela prática de um desporto, como por comportamentos, linguagem, atitudes e dinâmicas de interacção próprias. As implicações em termos da intervenção e do estudo de grupos juvenis são discutidas.
This study proposes to investigate the contribution of skateboarding practice in the construction of identity in youth subcultures in the urban space. A historical overview of the practice of skateboarding in Portugal and around the world is made. Based on concepts such as identity (Giddens, 1997), subculture (Becker, 1991) and urban tribes (Maffesoli, 1998), the practice of skateboarding in urban contexts is contextualized, and to a profile of the skaters is drawn. To achieve these objectives, the methodology used triangulated several techniques, including document analysis, observation, interviews and life stories. Results indicate that the practice of skateboarding is a result of appropriation of urban spaces and the use of its architectural features; that appropriation is sometimes a source of social conflict. Most skaters in Portugal are young males who live in urban areas and belong to advantaged socio-economic groups. In terms of identity, the skaters are defined not only by the practice of a sport, but with specific aspects, such as behavior, language, attitudes and dynamics of interaction itself. The implications for youth studies and intervention will be discussed.
