RESUMO

The following thesis presents a qualitative research developed with the general aim of studying the intergenerational relationships in families that have criminal involvement. This study investigates the relationship between grandparents and their adolescent grandchildren who are authors of criminal acts as an area of intergenerational companionship and possible socio-affective reference to amend the trajectories of their delinquent grandchildren. This work began with the hypothesis that the networks of family solidarity forged between grandparents and their criminally-involved adolescent grandchildren, if strengthened, will serve as one of the socio-affective references for these grandchildren and will create a possibility of transformation in their criminal trajectories. After considering what was perceived of the socio-affective reality of these grandparents and their grandchildren and the process of interrelational changes tested in the families of the research, the following aspects of the observed dynamics were considered: the quality of subject-researcher relationship, the amplification of love within family relationships, and the importance of the religious experience as a factor in family resilience. The theoretical reference of the study was built upon the sum of the production of four theoretical lines: the Complex Thought of Edgar Morin; the notion of affection of Espinosa; studies on the Biology of Love, Humberto Maturana; and studies of Generation and Family Memory from French sociological thought. Two grandparents and two adolescent grandchildren volunteered for the study. The adolescents were perpetrators of criminal acts that were in compliance with the measure of socio-educational Assisted Freedom, and were participating in the Program of Assisted Freedom of the Associação Educacional e Beneficente Vale da Bênção, in Vila Nova Cachoeirinha, São Paulo. As a methodological procedure, four visits with simultaneous interviews were made, as well as the drafting of Genosociograms of the two families surveyed. It was concluded from the results of the analysis that the strengthening of the relationships between grandparents and grandchildren served as a socio-affective reference for transformation in the path of life of both the grandchildren and the grandparents. This result helped build a group of ideas for assisting families in criminal contexts since it enabled the scaling of the importance of loving affection in family changes
