- At the ‘risky’ end of things: labelling, self-concept and the role of supportive relationships in young livesPublication . Matos, Raquel; Campos, Luísa; Martins, Filipe; Deakin, Jo; Carneiro, Alexandra; Fox, Claire; Markina, AnnaThe ‘risky’ label attached to certain groups of young people has disproportionately made them the target of ‘interventions’ designed to monitor, rehabilitate or punish. This article explores how young people experience and respond to that label across many aspects of their lives from school to leisure and from justice to welfare. We employ the notion of self-concept to understand the negative impact of labelling on young people and by contrast, the enabling influence of supportive relationships. Our analysis points to a relevant link between labelling and conflict and young people’s self-concept, as well as to the relationship between self-concept and demonstrations of different forms of agency. Drawing on key findings from a meta-ethnographic synthesis of case studies from three countries (Estonia, Portugal and UK), we find that, regardless of the country where young people live, the significant relationships in their lives are essential for breaking the ‘risk-labelled’ cycle and to promote a more positive path. The case studies were developed with 71 participants (49 male), mostly aged between 15 and 24 years old, who presented long paths of conflict with major normative social institutions like the family, school, or the law, frequently leading to school exclusion and, sometimes, anti-social or criminal behaviour.

- Cidadãos estrangeiros em Portugal: migrações, crime e reclusãoPublication . Matos, Raquel; Machado, Carla; Barbosa, Mariana; Salgueiro, GabrielaNeste artigo são analisados três temas de elevada relevância social: 1) a evolução histórica dos fluxos migratórios em Portugal; 2) a construção social da figura do ‘imigrante’; 3) a evolução, na última década, dos números e características da população de nacionalidade estrangeira no contexto prisional português. Embora historicamente se associe imigração e crime, a investigação recente não evidencia tal relação e revela que os imigrantes podem ter um impacto positivo na demografia e nas dinâmicas sociais dos países que os acolhem (Rosa, Seabra & Santos, 2003). Neste artigo argumenta-se que, apesar do aumento da proporção de cidadãos estrangeiros nas prisões portuguesas, há falta de conhecimento sobre os diferentes cenários da criminalidade que os conduz à reclusão e sobre o seu estatuto, em termos de legalidade ou ilegalidade e de contexto de residência. Ao proporcionar essa discussão esperamos contribuir para a desconstrução dos estereótipos que relacionam os cidadãos estrangeiros e o crime.
- Cluster analysis: Cluster 1: education/justice/societyPublication . Matos, Raquel; Campos, Luísa; Carneiro, Alexandra; Martins, Filipe; Deakin, JoIn this report the results of the meta-ethnography of Cluster 1 ‘Education/justice/society’ are summarised. It covers data from four ethnographic case studies in four different countries: Estonia, Great Britain, Portugal, and Spain. All case studies were conducted with groups of participants who, in general, presented long paths of conflict with major normative social institutions like the family, school, employment or the law, frequently leading to stigmatization, academic failure and/or school dropout, difficulties in finding a job, or to delinquent and criminal behaviour. The cluster analysis responded to three research questions and originated sixteen main concepts. It was possible to understand that young people tend to respond to their conflicts whether by i) remaining in conflict; ii) actively searching for support and opportunities; and iii) navigating the conflicts. Regarding to what inhibits or enables youth involvement, five main issues were identified: i) generalised negative social representations of youth; ii) amplifiers of young people’s discrimination; iii) conflict generates conflict; iv) opportunities generates opportunities; and v) the power of significant relationships. Finally, concerning how do interventions with young people enhance or inhibit youth social involvement, eight main concepts emerged: i) inhibited by the label; ii) apathy and withdrawal from interventions: latent rejection; iii) when stigma can become enabling: rejecting the label- the case of the young person who fought back; iv) skill development and practical support; v) creating a safe space; vi) modelling supportive relationships and recasting authority; vii) building confidence and emotional resilience; and viii) promoting generativity: giving back.

- Criminalidade feminina e construção do género: emergência e consolidação das perspectivas feministas na criminologiaPublication . Matos, Raquel; Machado, CarlaNeste artigo, são analisadas as perspectivas feministas na criminologia, em particular, os discursos sobre criminalidade feminina e construção do género. Parte-se de uma visão ampla sobre feminismos e construção de conhecimento e apresenta-se uma revisão histórica da emergência e da consolidação das perspectivas feministas na criminologia. Discute-se em particular o argumento feminista de que a construção social do género pauta os percursos de vida das mulheres que transgridem, e se reflecte na resposta formal e informal a essas transgressões. São analisadas as principais críticas tecidas pelas autoras feministas ao que designam de ‘discursos tradicionais’ sobre mulher e crime e as propostas que apresentam de reconstrução desses discursos.
