Este projeto aborda a necessidade de investigar e compreender as características
identificadas nos perfis de criminosos como sendo preditivas de um tipo de crime.
Dentro dessa linha, procura-se investigar em que medida, se forem identificadas a um
nível normal, poderão associar-se a tendências para cometer esses mesmos crimes.
Neste projeto investiga-se se, “quanto mais características de um determinado
crime o sujeito possuir, maior probabilidade terá de reportar o tipo de crime que poderia
vir a cometer”. Assim, mesmo que existam associações das características do sujeito
com outro crime diferente, espera-se que a correlação maior será entre a característica
da tipologia do crime que este terá probabilidade de praticar. Pelo que, o crime que é
reportado como podendo vir a ser cometido terá uma maior correspondência com as
características do indivíduo do que as dos outros crimes.
Apesar do projeto ter a grande limitação de ser auto avaliativo, espera-se o
mesmo padrão de resultados em população reclusa e não reclusa, apesar de se acreditar
que este padrão seja mais claro e facilmente detetado na população reclusa.
ABSTRACT: This project addresses the need for research and understanding of the characteristics identified in criminal profiling as being a predictor of a crime. Seeing this, we investigate to what extent they are identified to a normal level may be associated with tendencies to commit these same crimes. In this project, we are investigating whether "the more characteristics of a particular crime the subject has, the greater likelihood of reporting will be the kind of crime that could come to commit". Thus, even if there are associations of the characteristics of the subject with a different crime, it is expected that the highest correlation is between the characteristics of the types of crimes they will be likely to commit. Therefore, the crime that is reported may have to be made will correspond better to the characteristics of the individual than other crimes. Although the project has a major limitation of self evaluation, it is expected the same pattern of results in inmate and general population, although it is expected that this pattern is clearer and easily detected in the inmate population.
