Abstract

Thinking about moralities as a plural and situational category and considering that being socially identified as a bandit does not remove from the subject the need to respond to moral judgments – internal and external –, the paper aims to reflect on the agencies that involve these negotiations to understand how they enable the construction of new scenarios and meanings. All this, based on an ethnographic survey conducted with ten young people who, between April and July 2015, fulfilled a socio-educational measure of hospitalization in a unit of the Federal District.
