In this article we presented a study on the current situation surrounding the debate about reducing the legal age in Brazil. Initially it was built a survey about the role of penalties, was later analyzed the current punishments designed smaller in our country as well as the structural problems that have prevented full implementation of ECA the cases it hears, then did an analysis in comparative law regarding the reduction of criminal responsibility, then the study of its unconstitutionality. At the end we present a small change in ECA as a solution to juvenile offenders of high dangerousness, we demonstrate how investments in education are the best alternative to solve the problems and we end with our conclusions on the matter.
