Abstract(s)
A investigação criminal apresenta-se como um desafio para as polícias e autoridades
judiciárias, enquanto processo identificador da prática de um crime, do seu autor, das
circunstâncias em que foi cometido e de uma efetiva responsabilização. A Polícia Judiciária
Militar (PJM), assume um papel relevante no Sistema de Organização da Investigação Criminal
Português, que, ultimamente tem resultado num forte escrutínio público. É, assim, objetivo deste
estudo analisar a imagem da PJM junto dos militares dos Quadros Permanentes das Forças
Armadas, com recurso a uma amostra de 987 efetivos dos três Ramos, e a uma metodologia
de raciocínio dedutivo, assente numa estratégia de investigação quantitativa com reforço
qualitativo e num desenho de estudo de caso. Dos resultados obtidos, mediante questionários
e entrevistas – versando as perceções dos níveis de profissionalismo, competências, utilidade e
qualidade da informação divulgada, a par do conhecimento organizacional e eventual extinção
da PJM, por fusão noutro Órgão de Polícia Criminal –, concluiu-se que os militares inquiridos,
apresentam uma imagem medianamente positiva desta entidade policial, percecionando-a
como razoavelmente profissional, competente e útil, tendencialmente atuante em respeito pela
Lei e pelos valores militares, e facilitadora da investigação criminal em contexto militar, não
devendo ser extinguida, nem destituída da sua autonomia/independência
A criminal investigation, as the process of determining that a crime has been committed, who its perpetrator was, and the circumstances in which it was committed to hold the culprit accountable, presents a challenge for the police and judicial authorities. The Military Judicial Police (PJM), which has recently come under intense public scrutiny, has an important role in the Portuguese Criminal Investigation System. This study will analyse the image of the PJM among military career personnel by surveying 987 respondents from the three branches of the Armed Forces, using a deductive reasoning methodology supported by a quantitative research strategy reinforced by qualitative elements and a case study research design. The questionnaires and interviews assessed the respondents’ perceptions about the PJM’s professionalism, competence and utility, the quality of available information, as well as their knowledge about the organization and their opinion on the possible dissolution of the PJM through a merger with another Criminal Police Body. The findings showed that the AAFF personnel surveyed have a moderately positive opinion of this police agency, viewing it as a reasonably professional, competent and useful organization that tends to respect the law and uphold military values, and that is uniquely qualified to conduct military criminal investigations. Therefore, it should not be disbanded, nor deprived of its autonomy / independence.
