Abstract(s)
O comportamento criminal é um fenómeno com características heterogéneas em termos de perpetuação e das necessidades de intervenção para a prevenção da reincidência. Nesse sentido, diferentes estudos apontam para a pertinência da exploração das características psicossociais e individuais em sujeitos com comportamentos criminais, de forma a compreender que fatores predispõem a atividade criminal e promovem a manutenção deste comportamento. Neste sentido, o presente estudo procura analisar e comparar as competências socias e emocionais e o autocontrolo em quatro grupos com diferentes condenações, consoante a sua tipologia e gravidade. A amostra foi constituída 367 indivíduos do sexo masculino, com idades entre 18 e 83 anos, a cumprir pena em 12 Estabelecimentos Prisionais de Portugal continental. Os participantes foram distribuídos por quatro grupos, segundo a natureza do crime cometido: 1) crimes não violentos; 2) crimes violentos (excluindo homicídio e crimes sexuais), 3) crimes sexuais e; 4) homicídios. Os resultados sugerem não existirem diferenças significativas nas competências sociais e emocionais entre os grupos de condenados. No entanto, foram encontradas diferenças nos níveis de autocontrolo. Indivíduos condenados por crimes violentos (excluindo homicídio e crimes sexuais) apresentaram um menor autocontrolo em comparação com os outros grupos. Esta investigação reforça a importância de uma avaliação e intervenção individualizada dos reclusos, tendo em consideração o tipo e natureza do crime cometido, e a necessidade de desenvolver programas de promoção do autocontrolo e regulação emocional.
Criminal behavior is a phenomenon with heterogeneous characteristics in terms of its maintenance and the need for intervention to prevent relapse. In this sense, in order to understand which factors, predispose to criminal activity and promote the maintenance of this behavior, various studies point to the importance of studying psychosocial and individual characteristics in subjects with criminal behavior. The aim of the present research is the analysis and comparison of the social and emotional skills and the self-control in four groups of different beliefs, according the type and the degree of the beliefs. The sample consisted of 367 men, aged between 18 and 83 years, incarcerated in 12 prisons on the Portuguese mainland. Participants were divided into four groups according to the type of crime committed: 1) nonviolent, 2) violent (excluding homicide and sexual), 3) sexual, and; 4) homicide. The results indicate that there are no significant differences between the groups of inmates in terms of social and emotional skills. Differences were found, however, in the level of self-control. Compared to the other groups, those convicted of violent crimes (excluding homicide and sex crimes) demonstrated lower levels of self-control. This research highlights the importance of individualized assessment and intervention for prisoners, taking into account the type and nature of the crime committed. It also highlights the need to develop programs that promote self-control and emotional regulation.
