Abstract(s)
Os contextos familiares e escolares têm um grande impacto na vida das crianças e jovens
sendo uma das principais causas da violência juvenil. É através destes meios de socialização
que se constrói uma aprendizagem, podendo originar comportamentos desviantes e
delinquentes e uma possível situação de acolhimento.
A relação entre pais e filhos é fundamental na determinação de comportamentos, tal como a
existência de fatores de proteção após o nascimento tornando-se indispensáveis no combate
aos fatores de risco.
Os “Fatores de Risco e Proteção, Comportamentos Antissociais e Consumo De Substâncias
Ilícitas em Jovens Institucionalizados” é uma investigação que pretende compreender os
fatores que estão intrínsecos às histórias de vida e que conduziram ao acolhimento
institucional, bem como a forma como o desenvolvimento das crianças e jovens entre a
infância e a adolescência pode ou desencadeia comportamentos de risco/perigo.
Para tal foi utilizada a metodologia de histórias de vida através de uma abordagem qualitativa,
com recurso a entrevistas semiestruturadas a sete jovens institucionalizados do sexo
masculino.
Como objetivos específicos pretendeu-se: analisar teoricamente comportamentos de
risco/perigo; compreender como é que os fatores de risco que estão inerentes aos
jovens/adolescentes podem desencadear comportamentos desviantes; identificar as
consequências que estão subjacentes à prática de atos delinquentes e comportamentos
antissociais; e compreender o processo de mudança que o jovem tem de ultrapassar desde que
é institucionalizado.
Os resultados evidenciam que o grande fator de origem do acolhimento reside na família; os
fatores de risco mais manifestos são sobretudo a negligência, os maus tratos, a ausência da
figura paterna, os problemas socioeconómicos, os consumos de estupefacientes, o insucesso
escolar e a exclusão social; o ambiente familiar e o temperamento da criança estão
relacionados entre si; as vivencias anteriores à institucionalização têm impacto na vida das
crianças e jovens; o processo de adaptação em casa de acolhimento não é fácil e os jovens têm
perspetivas para o seu futuro.
Family and school contexts have a major impact on the lives of children and young people, being one of the main causes of youth violence. It is through these means of socialization that learning is built, which can lead to deviant and delinquent behaviours and a possible welcoming situation. The relationship between parents and children is fundamental in determining behaviours, as well as the existence of protective factors after birth, becomes indispensable in combating risk factors. The “Risk and Protection Factors, Antisocial Behaviours and Consumption of Illicit Substances in Institutionalized Youths” is an investigation that aims to understand the factors that are intrinsic to life stories and that have led to institutional care, as well as the way in which children develop and young people between childhood and adolescence can or trigger risky / dangerous behaviours. The methodology of life stories was used through a qualitative approach, using semistructured interviews with seven institutionalized young men. The specific objectives were to: theoretically analyse risk / danger behaviours; understand how the risk factors that are inherent to young people / teenagers can trigger deviant behaviour’s; identify the consequences that underlie the practice of delinquent acts and antisocial behaviour; and understand the process of change that young people have to overcome since it is institutionalized. The results show that the main source of the reception in residential care lies in the family; the most evident risk factors are mainly negligence, abuse, absence of a father figure, socioeconomic problems, drug use, school failure and social exclusion; the family environment and the child's temperament are related to each other; experiences prior to institutionalization have an impact on the lives of children and young people; the adaptation process in the residential care is not easy and young people have perspectives for their future.
