Adolescents in conflict with the law have been object of study of many authors of several areas, that seek to characterize the profile of this population, the professional interventions made, risk and protective factors, and other aspects. The systematization of scientific production on brazilian adolescents in conflict with the law makes it possible to increase the clarity about what determines and maintains the infractor behavior, besides identifying the gaps in knowledge production. A systematic review of the literature published between the years 2000 and 2019 (May) was made. As a result, 307 articles were identified. The articles were classified by year of publication, method, area of study, intervention, etc. Was identified that the publications do not present an evaluation of the efficiency and effectiveness of the interventions and that the studies are mostly in the field of law, psychology and education area, which makes it difficult to develop an interdisciplinary action. There seems to be a need for research that emphasizes the interventions performed with this population, valuing the effects of the intervention for the population served.
