Abstract

Public policies are extremely important for reducing violence, and this academicworkaims to show what exists to reduce crime through reading and the libraryintheresocialization of juvenile offenders. This is a bibliographical researchwithanassociative method to achieve the proposed objectives. The informationwascollected from the Reference Database of Periodical Articles in InformationScience(BRAPCI), in addition, the work is not restricted solely to what is foundontheplatform, support was also sought through current laws found onwebsitesgovernmental documents such as those available on the Planalto LegislationPortal.Given the Laws found, it was realized that the main government entity responsibleforimplementing public policies aimed at the aforementioned subject wouldbetheMunicipality. At BRAPCI, the results obtained were not exciting, as therearenoarticles that specifically study the resocialization of juvenile offenders whosuffersocio-educational or protection measures in an open environment, that is, thereislittle academic interest, at least in relation to other subjects linked to librarianshipandreading. It was deduced that the cause would be the lack of government incentivesfor the resocialization of minors through activities such as reading, whichresultsinlittle academic study in Brazil. Finally, it was found that reading practicesandsociocultural actions in libraries have transformative potential, promotingcultural instruments of social and human support for juvenile offenders in the resocializationprocess.
