Resumo: This paper studies the role of the judicial branch in the penal control of youth. It addresses the decisions of the Superior Appeal Court and the Appeal Court of the State of Rio Grande do Sul, regarding preventive detention (custody before sentence) of youth charged with criminal offenses.  Following the classification of the decisions, according to pre-established criteria, it finds that there are three major themes related to preventive detention of youth: prorogation of the legal term, detention before the decision becoming definitive and the reasoning for the decisions. This article investigates the reasons Courts use to decide whether or not preventive detention should be applied. After a new reduction of the empirical universe, guided by the observation of the collected data, the study focuses on the decisions related to drug trafficking, which places second in youth incarceration rates. The analysis finds that, despite some differences between the Courts, the discretion provided by the Child and Adolescent Act’s indeterminate language is used to widen the application of preventive detention. Also, in some cases, the legal provisions were given a flexible interpretation, to, once more, justify the increase of penal control.

Assim, toma como exemplo a jurisprudência do Superior Tribunal de Justiça (STJ) e do Tribunal de Justiça do Rio Grande do Sul (TJRS) quanto ao tema da internação provisória (privação de liberdade antes da sentença) de jovens acusados do cometimento de atos infracionais. Após a classificação das decisões encontradas, de acordo com critérios pré-estabelecidos, percebe-se haver três grandes temas relativos à internação provisória: ampliação do prazo legal, cumprimento da internação antes do trânsito em julgado da sentença e os fundamentos para sua imposição. No presente artigo, investigam-se os argumentos que a jurisprudência utiliza para aplicar ou não o instituto. Realizando novo recorte empírico, amparado pela observação dos dados obtidos, opta-se pelo estudo das decisões relativas ao ato infracional de tráfico de drogas, responsável pelo segundo maior número de internações no país. Após a análise dos julgados, concluiu-se que, apesar de algumas diferenças entre os Tribunais, a discricionariedade conferida pela linguagem aberta e imprecisa do Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente (ECA) é utilizada no sentido de ampliação da incidência da internação provisória. Ainda, houve situações em que as disposições legais foram flexibilizadas, também para justificar o aumento do controle penal. Rede de Estudos Empíricos em Direito2014-07-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionEmpirical legal researchPesquisa empírica qualitativaapplication/pdfhttps://reedrevista.org/reed/article/view/3710.19092/reed.v1i2.37Brazilian Journal of Empirical Legal Studies; Vol. 1 No. 2 (2014): Brazilian Journal of Empirical Legal StudiesRevista de Estudos Empíricos em Direito; v. 1 n. 2 (2014): Revista de Estudos Empíricos em Direito2319-081710.19092/reed.v1i2reponame:Revista de Estudos Empíricos em Direitoinstname:Rede de Pesquisa Empírica em Direito (REED)instacron:RPEDporhttps://reedrevista.org/reed/article/view/37/42Cornelius, Eduardo Gutierrezinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2020-07-05T16:25:12Zoai:ojs.emnuvens.com.br:article/37Revistahttps://reedrevista.org/reedONGhttps://reedrevista.org/reed/oaimvchein@gmail.com||reed.revista@gmail.com2319-08172319-0817opendoar:2020-07-05T16:25:12Revista de Estudos Empíricos em Direito - Rede de Pesquisa Empírica em Direito (REED)false
