Um estudo em torno da exclusão dos jovens tatuados na Polícia da República de Moçambique

Abstract

The present work entitled, : a study on the exclusion of tattooed youth in the Ministry of Interior in Mozambique aims to understand the objective meaning that the Ministry of Interior uses to exclude tattooed youth from joining the defense and National security. The work is of a qualitative nature, for data collection, conversations supported in a guided interview were privileged. The work took place at the Ministry of Interior, where ten employees were interviewed. The epicenter of the work is the exclusion of young people with tattoos from the ranks of the Ministry of the Interior, and for this, we reach two conclusions: the first one has in view the objective meaning, which consists in the implicit institutionalization of norms and rules that exclude tattooed young people in the corporation, whose norms and rules were not written in the military regulation, and at the same time we combine the subjective reality since the employees of this Ministry internalize these norms and execute them in their entirety. The second is that young people are excluded from the Ministry of Interior due to the excess of stigma and stereotypes that agents have in relation to tattooed young people, since the corporation allies tattooed young people as deviant individuals and/or belonging to criminal networks
