Abstract
This article aims to examine how children and teenagers in conflict with the law are represented in television reports and if the information and descriptions contained therein correspond to the image that typified this social group, and if they fixed in common social knowledge. Therefore, we take as the object of analysis the series of articles entitled Crime, Punishment and Recovery, displayed from 20 to 23 August 2012 in Repórter Brazil from TV Brazil station. For the evaluation of that object, we used as categories of analysis the recommendations laid out in the booklet Teenagers in conflict with the law: Reference Guide for coverage, proposed by the News Agency for Children’s Rights (ANDI).
