Abstract(s)
Os jovens são um dos vários grupos sociais com os quais os polícias da Polícia de Segurança
Pública (PSP) lidam no cumprimento da sua missão. Desta relação surgem, inevitavelmente,
perceções avaliativas dos jovens relativas aos polícias. Para uma melhor compreensão do
tema em estudo, explorou-se o construto das atitudes no âmbito da Psicologia Social, de
forma a se esclarecerem os fenómenos responsáveis pela formação das atitudes dos jovens
relativamente aos polícias. Após a verificação da correlação isolada de diferentes variáveis
com as atitudes gerais e perceções sobre a imparcialidade, foi criado um Modelo de
Equações Estruturais que integrou as variáveis do sexo, estatuto socioeconómico subjetivo
da família, pertença a um grupo social minoritário, perceções do contexto do bairro ou
vizinhança, contactos com os polícias derivados de vitimação prévia ou delinquência,
observação da atividade policial através dos órgãos de comunicação social, redes sociais ou
outras pessoas e o grau de satisfação com as interações diretas (tanto voluntárias como
involuntárias) e indiretas com os polícias. Os resultados obtidos permitem concluir que,
considerando os jovens que interagiram direta e indiretamente com os polícias, por um lado,
a satisfação com os contactos diretos e indiretos com os polícias, são as variáveis que mais
influenciam as atitudes gerais e perceções sobre a imparcialidade relativamente aos mesmos
e, por outro lado, as atitudes gerais mais positivas contribuem para uma maior
disponibilidade dos jovens em cooperar com os polícias, mas as perceções sobre a
imparcialidade não.
Youth are one of the several social groups with whom the policemen from Polícia de Segurança Pública deal with in the fulfillment of their duty. From this relationship, evaluative perceptions of youth related to the police inevitably arise. For a better understanding of the subject under study, the construct of attitudes within the scope of Social Psychology was explored, to clarify the phenomena responsible for the formation of youth attitudes towards police. After verifying the isolated correlation of different variables with the general attitudes and perceptions of bias, a Structural Equation Model was created that integrated the variables of sex, subjective socioeconomic status of the family, belonging to a social minority group status, perceptions of the neighborhood context, contacts with police derived from previous victimization or delinquency, observation of police activity through the media, social networks or other people and the degree of satisfaction with direct (both voluntary and involuntary) and indirect interactions with police officers. The results obtained allow us to conclude that, considering the youth who interacted both directly and indirectly with the police, on the one hand, satisfaction with the indirect and direct contacts with police, are the variables that most influence general attitudes and perceptions of bias toward them and, on the other hand, that more positive general attitudes contribute to a greater willingness of youth to cooperate with police officers, while perceptions of bias do not.
