Esta pesquisa procura discutir tensões existentes entre direitos, democracia, igualdade e Estado de Direito no Brasil, valendo-se do estudo do caso de Champinhajovem autor de ato infracional que transitou de uma medida socioeducativa para uma internação psiquiátrica compulsória. O trabalho procura destacar o aspecto de exceção que marca o caso analisado, ao mesmo tempo em que busca situá-lo em um cenário mais amplo, de criação de outras modalidades de exceção no Brasil contemporâneo. Através dessa discussão, espera-se contribuir para uma sociologia política que articule esses fenômenos ao modelo de democracia brasileira e suas consequências para as possibilidades de política democrática.

Adherence was determined by self-report and pharmacy dispensing records (
