Adolescent in conflict with the law: the psychosocial report as a tool for the promotion of development

The aim of the text is to discuss the preparation of the psychosocial report about adolescents in conflict with the law which is sent to the judge. We propose to discuss how this report can be constructed in a way not to benefit only the judge but rather to be an instrument to enrich the juridical process, to enlarge the view of the actors of the judiciary about the phase of the adolescent development, containing not only an evaluation view, returning humanity to subjects dependent on judicial decisions, and promoting a perspective of psychosocial intervention. How can this report be useful, correct and fair to the teenager? Its construction needs: to value the family and to recognize its socio-economic reality, to base on the perspective of the development phase of this subject; to focus on the circularity of the relationships he has in his environment and to rescue the protection due to this adolescent.
