Juvenile deviance today represents a complex and significant phenomenon within the contemporary context, marked by precarity and the weakening of community bonds. The developmental trajectories of children and adolescents often intersect with experiences of exclusion and educational poverty, which may result in behaviors that do not conform to social norms. From this perspective, deviance is interpreted not merely as individual transgression, but as an expression of distress and a demand for recognition. The research arises from a dual need: the social urgency of the phenomenon and the difficulty of dialogue between social work and education, fields that struggle to integrate languages and practices. In light of the preventive dimension emphasized in the Code of Ethics of the Social Worker, this thesis investigates the specific role of education in the prevention of and response to juvenile deviance. After defining the concept of deviance and analyzing the main interpretative models, the study explores the contribution of critical pedagogy through the thought of Paulo Freire and Ivan Illich, identifying conscientization, transformative dialogue, informal education, and conviviality as key tools for fostering agency, inclusion, and participation. The reflection then turns to planetary citizenship and ecopedagogy, proposing an approach grounded in care, interdependence, and shared responsibility. The thesis concludes with the design of a school-based workshop as a concrete application of a socio-educational intervention oriented toward prevention and collaborative networking between schools and social services.
La devianza minorile rappresenta oggi un fenomeno complesso e rilevante nel con-testo contemporaneo, segnato da precarietà e indebolimento dei legami comunitari. I percorsi di crescita di bambini e adolescenti si intrecciano con esperienze di esclusione e povertà educativa, che possono tradursi in comportamenti non conformi alle norme sociali. In questa prospettiva, la devianza viene interpretata non solo come infrazione individuale, ma come espressione di disagio e richiesta di riconoscimento. La ricerca nasce da una duplice esigenza: l’urgenza sociale del fenomeno e la difficoltà di dialo-go tra assistenza sociale ed educazione, ambiti che faticano a integrare linguaggi e pra-tiche. Alla luce della dimensione preventiva richiamata nel Codice Deontologico dell’Assistente Sociale, la tesi indaga il ruolo dell’educazione nella prevenzione e nel contrasto della devianza minorile. Dopo aver definito il concetto di devianza e analizzato i principali modelli interpre-tativi, il lavoro approfondisce il contributo della pedagogia critica attraverso il pensie-ro di Paulo Freire e Ivan Illich, individuando nella coscientizzazione, nel dialogo tra-sformativo, nell’educazione informale e nella convivialità strumenti per promuovere agency, inclusione e partecipazione. La riflessione si orienta verso la cittadinanza pla-netaria e l’ecopedagogia, proponendo un approccio fondato su cura, interdipendenza e corresponsabilità. La tesi si conclude con la progettazione di un laboratorio scolastico quale applicazione concreta di un intervento socioeducativo orientato alla prevenzione e al lavoro di rete tra scuola e servizio sociale.

Abstract
Juvenile deviance today represents a complex and significant phenomenon within the contemporary context, marked by precarity and the weakening of community bonds. The developmental trajectories of children and adolescents often intersect with experiences of exclusion and educational poverty, which may result in behaviors that do not conform to social norms. From this perspective, deviance is interpreted not merely as individual transgression, but as an expression of distress and a demand for recognition. The research arises from a dual need: the social urgency of the phenomenon and the difficulty of dialogue between social work and education, fields that struggle to integrate languages and practices. In light of the preventive dimension emphasized in the Code of Ethics of the Social Worker, this thesis investigates the specific role of education in the prevention of and response to juvenile deviance. After defining the concept of deviance and analyzing the main interpretative models, the study explores the contribution of critical pedagogy through the thought of Paulo Freire and Ivan Illich, identifying conscientization, transformative dialogue, informal education, and conviviality as key tools for fostering agency, inclusion, and participation. The reflection then turns to planetary citizenship and ecopedagogy, proposing an approach grounded in care, interdependence, and shared responsibility. The thesis concludes with the design of a school-based workshop as a concrete application of a socio-educational intervention oriented toward prevention and collaborative networking between schools and social services.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
