摘要

In 2021, the Secretaria de Administração Prisional e Socioeducativa–SAP (state authority for administrating the penal and juvenile justice systems) of Santa Catarina, Brazil, launched the SapCiência program in collaboration with local universities. Developed by public servants, who at that time were working at the Academia de Administração Prisional e Socioeducativa–ACAPS (Academy of Penal and Juvenile Justice Administration)–which is the professional school for both systems, this innovative program was designed to integrate the unique insights of system insiders into academic research on juvenile justice and penal systems. SapCiência aimed to transcend traditional academic research, typically led by external scholars, by incorporating the practical experience of those within the system. The partnership with the State University of Santa Catarina (UDESC) and the University of Southern Santa Catarina (Unisul) led to 200 specializations through the program (all concluded in 2023) and allowed to open 20 master positions (some still ongoing) and 8 doctoral positions (all ongoing). Significantly, the collaboration with Unisul has been increased by a group of students who got affiliated with the Research Group on Energetic Efficiency and Sustainability (GREENS). This has led to research focused on environmental sustainability within the juvenile justice and penal systems, producing a variety of studies that this paper will explore. This paper aims to answer the question: How can a partnership between local (state) governments and Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) promote environmental sustainability studies in juvenile justice and penal systems? It presents SapCiência studies’ results on sustainability as a case study, showcasing the impact of professional-led research in academic settings and the fruitful collaboration between universities and government, particularly in tackling the challenge of promoting environmental sustainability.
