Abstract

The theme of this research arises as the study of the Brazilian television journalism approach to crime and violence in the context of late modernity, focusing the discussion of the reduction of legal age in Brazil. We seek through the diagnosis of the content, understand the features present in the media discourse amid the current crisis in coping system to violence and criminal justice in particular policies for adolescents or children in conflict with the law in the country. We propose the media discourse of the study produced by TV Globo in her goddaughter in Rio Grande do Sul, RBS TV. The time frame in discussions covering the issue of reduction of legal age in Brazil is design the constitution the PEC 33, 2012, introduced by Senator Aloysio Nunes (PSDB) in progress July 2012 to February 2014. Were the crimes set by the prosecutor in the minors in conflict with the law would be judged as of age without provision with the terms established by the Children and Adolescents. From an epistemological point of view, the study aims to seek the intertwining of sociological concepts and theories of communication. The qualitative analysis will have as its foundation the assumed division by Kellner (2001), within cultural studies, three categories: social horizon, cumulative impact and discursive field. The assumptions of Garland (2001) serve as guiding research on criminal practices in late modernida. We use NVIVO software, anchored on the contributions of discourse analysis exposed by Orlandi (1999).
