Abstract(s)
Encontra-se facilmente informação sobre prevenção da doença mental, sobre a sua génese
e até mesmo sobre relações entre um tipo de crime e uma patologia específica. Porém é de
notar a falta de literatura e de investigação sobre pessoas com doença mental envolvidas no
Sistema Criminal, bem como tudo o que se refere à prevenção de comportamentos violentos
em comunidade, mostrando-se esta a maior limitação na literatura. O objectivo da presente
revisão de literatura passa pela avaliação da necessidade de prevenção nesta população, tendo
em conta o tratamento como um instrumento capaz de reduzir o número de crises violentas.
Finalmente serão abordadas as “Equipas de Intervenção em Crise” munidas de ferramentas
necessárias à boa resolução de episódios de crise em comunidade. Em suma, é peremptório
afirmar que têm vindo a ser criados programas, como forma de prevenção da criminalidade,
perpetrada por pessoas com doença mental, e seu, consequente, afastamento do Sistema
Criminal. A literatura indubitavelmente confirma que apesar dos programas mostrarem
resultados positivos, ainda são pouco divulgados e aplicados pela grande maioria dos países.
ABSTRACT: It is easy found information about prevention of mental illness, on its genesis and even about relationships between one type of crime and a specific pathology. But it is difficult found literature and research about persons with mental illness involved in the criminal system, as well as everything that pertains to the prevention of violent behavior in the community, showing that this a major limitation in the literature. The purpose of this review of the literature involves the assessment of the necessity of preventing this population, given as a treatment instrument capable of reducing the number of violent crises. Finally we will discuss the "Crisis Intervention Teams" provided with tools needed for good resolution of crisis episodes in the community. In conclusion, it is stated peremptorily that have been created programs as a way of preventing crime, perpetrated by people with mental illness, and his consequent, removal of the Criminal System. The literature undoubtedly confirms that despite the programs show positive results are still poorly disseminated and applied by most countries.
