Authors
Abstract(s)
As atitudes dos reclusos detidos por crimes não sexuais, face aos indivíduos que cometeram ofensas sexuais, têm um grande impacto na vida destes ofensores dentro do meio prisional. O presente estudo pretende explorar quais são estas atitudes e verificar se estas revelam diferenças tendo em conta algumas variáveis sociodemográficas como o sexo, a idade, a situação conjugal, a situação parental e as dimensões da personalidade dos sujeitos. Para a realização deste estudo foi aplicado um questionário sociodemográfico, a Escala de Atitudes em relação a Agressores Sexuais e o NEO Five-Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI) a uma amostra de 222 ofensores de crimes não sexuais. Os resultados revelaram que as atitudes face aos ofensores sexuais são tendencialmente negativas e que existe uma correlação estatisticamente significativa entre a dimensão da Abertura à experiência e as atitudes. Estes resultados destacam a necessidade de explorar com mais pormenor as consequências destas atitudes face aos ofensores sexuais para que o meio prisional possa desempenhar a função reabilitadora a que se propôs.
The attitudes of prisoners arrested for non-sexual crimes towards individuals who have committed sexual offences have a major impact on the lives of these offenders within the prison environment. The present study aims to explore what these attitudes are, and verify if they reveal differences taking into account some sociodemographic variables such as gender, age, marital status, parental situation and the dimensions of the subjects' personalities. For this study, a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Scale of Attitudes Toward Sex Offenders and the NEO Five-Factor inventory, was applied to a sample of 222 offenders of non-sexual crimes. The results revealed that attitudes towards sexual offenders are trending negative and there is a statistically significant correlation between the dimension of openness to experience and attitudes. These results highlight the need to explore in more detail the consequences of these attitudes towards sexual offenders so that the prison environment can perform the rehabilitative function to which it has proposed.
