TY - JOUR TI - Being crime: Youth violence and criminal identities in Bahia, Brazil T2 - Ethnography VL - 17 IS - 1 AU - Zoettl, P. A. PY - 2026 SP - 121-135 SN - 1466-1381 DO - 10.1177/14661381221115191 UR - https://journals.sagepub.com/home/ETH AB - In Brazil, a growing number of young citizens from the socioeconomic periphery embark on a career in crime, earning their living by armed robbery or selling drugs. Through the life stories and narratives of inmates of a juvenile prison in the state of Bahia, the article anatomizes what makes these young men take up and stick to a life in conflict with the law, despite the limited profits and substantial hardships involved. I argue that the experience of violence, both suffered and perpetrated, is central to the forging of the youths’ criminal identities, and their persistent failure to change their life trajectories.
