At the national level, the work focused on molding poor childhood and punishing them for poverty stood out. This mode of action is expressed in Tocantins through the tendency towards the militarization of policies aimed at children and adolescents. As hypotheses to understand the phenomenon of militarization, the Army's actions at the end of the empire and the beginning of the Republic were pointed out, the reforms in career plans that took place during the PT governments without the proper expansion of instantaneous civil contres, the truncated transition between the military dictatorship of 1964 and the civil governments that began in 1985.
