Some thoughts on psychological assessment in infancy and youth justice

This article is a study about the psychological written report in the Juvenile Court, based on the concepts of discipline, norm and exam as they were worked out by Michel Foucault. This research is also based on interviews with judges, prosecutors, defense attorneys and psychologists who work in this area. An analysis about some psychological written reports is also made. In the end, we cannot only criticize such reports, but work out the concepts of their (re)definition as well.
