Dancing in order to move: the emergence of dangerous places

This article aims to discuss the emergence of dangerous places, having as a starting point the narratives of users of social work policies, collected in a cartographic research addressing the discourses about reducing the minimum age for criminal responsibility in Brazil. For that, we used Michel Foucault ’ s concept of governmentality, in order to reflect on the emergence of these places and their public policies, in accordance with markers present in the studied narratives. It is a territorial logic that justifies actions on its subjects, regardless of their own actions, reinforcing a connection between poverty, marginality and crime, based on public policies of security and social work.
