The present work aims to analyze whether the socio-educational measures applied to young offenders have had practical effects. This is because minors have constitutional protection and are the responsibility of society, the state, the family and the community in general. Through bibliographic research, an analysis was made at the ECA from a constitutional perspective, addressing the role of the family, the State and society in the protection of minors. It also compares socio-educational measures in species, as they are used in specific cases, in addition to demonstrating the latest data on the recidivism of young people who commit an infraction. In this way, Restorative Justice is suggested as a way of mitigating the problem, in order to unite it with what the Brazilian legal system already brings, regarding socio-educational measures.
