Abstract

This work aims at executing a methodological debate concerning the qualitative  usage of the analysis of file documents on researches about control institutions regarding adolescents who have committed an infraction. Therefore, some definitions on this methodological technique will be presented and, after that, a review of national works which have used this technique analyzing institutional reports of adolescents in confinement units – which are made by the institution aiming at informing the Judiciary Power about the behavior and the development of the teenager – will be done. At last, the pattern of usage of this technique on these researches will be analyzed, willing to problematize the potentialities and the limits of this technique and also to suggest new ways of handling this material.
