ABSTRACT
This article aims to discuss the emergence of dangerous places, having as a starting point the narratives of users of social work policies, collected in a cartographic research addressing the discourses about reducing the minimum age for criminal responsibility in Brazil. For that, we used Michel Foucault’s concept of governmentality, in order to reflect on the emergence of these places and their public policies, in accordance with markers present in the studied narratives. It is a territorial logic that justifies actions on its subjects, regardless of their own actions, reinforcing a connection between poverty, marginality and crime, based on public policies of security and social work.
