Abstract(s)
Estudar o crime e os seus contornos, junto de quem o comete, pode fornecer um contributo crucial para a prevenção do crime e a redução da reincidência. Este estudo teve como objetivo, através de uma análise temática, analisar perceções de indivíduos, condenados a pena de prisão, acerca dos fatores de risco e de dissuasão da criminalidade, e da experiência da mesma tendo como base alguns conceitos da teoria da ação situacional de Wikström. Nos resultados emergiram temas como o consumo de substâncias, a impulsividade e influência do meio como fatores de risco. Como dissuasores discutiu-se a educação, o apoio familiar e o acompanhamento psicológico adequado. As emoções morais e o filtro moral não parecem desempenhar um papel dissuasor forte o suficiente. Os resultados deste estudo podem, e devem, inspirar a aplicação de técnicas e programas adequados, em meio prisional.
ABSTRACT: Studying crime and its implications, near those who commit it, can provide a crucial contribution to prevent crime and reduce recidivism. This study aimed to analyze, through a thematic analysis, the perceptions of men who are serving prison time, about the risk and deterrent factors for criminality, as well as they’re experience, based on some of Wikström’s situational action theory concepts. In the results, for risk factors emerged themes like substance consumption, impulsivity and the influence of the environment. As deterrents, education, family support and adequate psychological support. Moral emotions and the moral filter don’t seem to play a strong enough deterrent role. The results of this study can, and should, inspire the application of appropriate techniques and programs in prisons.
