Public policies of telecentres and violence prevention

This article is a systematization of part of a search that took place in the nucleus Violence and Citizenship of the Postgraduate Program of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul in the period from 2006 to 2008. We intend, from documental data and interviews collected, to provide a conception and analysis of the case of public policy for digital inclusion through telecentres in the capital of Rio Grande do Sul (Porto Alegre). We will discuss in this article the conception of digital inclusion that are present both in the first managers who conceived the Hall of Public Policy Telecenters in Porto Alegre (2004) as in the current managers (2007) that give continuity to the implementation of this public policy. We will proceed to an analysis of these concepts, highlighting its virtues and its limits before the theory of modernity reflexive by us adopted. Our final words are aiming to defend and give a bigger and better integration between the policy for digital inclusion of telecentres and the violence prevention to low-income youth, especially the population at risk, between 15 and 18 years old. We also support the integration of the policy for digital inclusion for this population, to be expanded with a long term policy of income and grants for school inclusion.
