Abstract(s)
presente investigação tem como objetivo estudar a explicação do desenvolvimento e manutenção do comportamento antissocial e criminal ao longo do tempo, nomeadamente em reclusos reincidentes, tendo como referencial a Teoria do Potencial Antissocial Cognitivo Integrado [ICAP]. Assim, nesta investigação procura-se caracterizar a carreira criminal de reclusos reincidentes e analisar de que forma o principal construto desta teoria, o potencial antissocial, resultante do somatório dos fatores de risco a longo prazo presentes, influencia a reincidência criminal, mais especificamente, o total de crimes praticados, o total de condenações, o total de reclusões, a idade aquando da prática do primeiro crime, a precocidade do comportamento criminal, a duração da carreira criminal, a frequência, versatilidade e gravidade do comportamento criminal. Para o efeito, foram consultados, em dois estabelecimentos prisionais, os processos de 79 reclusos reincidentes, com idades compreendidas entre os 26 e os 65 anos de idade. É possível observar que a média do potencial antissocial dos reclusos reincidentes é de 5.7, verificando-se que o mesmo é um preditor estatisticamente significativo do total de crimes, do total de condenações, da idade aquando da prática do primeiro crime e da gravidade do comportamento criminal, o que permite corroborar, em parte, a teoria ICAP. Assim, este estudo relativo à reincidência na população reclusa permite identificar e compreender de que forma os fatores de risco a longo prazo originam o desenvolvimento e manutenção do comportamento criminal reincidente, sendo a compreensão destes fatores de extrema importância, quer na definição e estruturação de estratégias de prevenção e intervenção adequadas a este grupo, quer na reinserção social dos reclusos reincidentes.
The present investigation aims to study the explanation of the development and maintenance of antisocial and criminal behavior over time, in recidivist inmates, having as reference the Integrative Cognitive Antisocial Potential theory [ICAP]. This way, this investigation tries to characterize the criminal careers of recidivist prisoners and understand how the main construct of this theory, the antisocial potential, resulting from the sum of the present long-term risk factors, influence criminal recidivism, more specifically, the total number of crimes practiced, the total number of convictions, the total number of imprisonments, the age when the first crime was committed, the precocity of criminal behavior, the length of the criminal career, the frequency, versatility and severity of criminal behavior. For this purpose, the processes of 79 recidivist inmates who were serving an effective prison sentence at two prisons, aged between 26 and 65 years old, were consulted. It is possible to observe that the average of the antisocial potential of recidivist prisoners is 5.7, which allowed us to verify that it is a predictor of the total number of crimes, the total number of convictions, the age when the first crime was practiced and the severity of criminal behavior, which allows to partially corroborate the ICAP theory. Thus, this study on recidivism in the prison population allows to identify and understand how the long-term risk factors originate the development and maintenance of recidivist criminal behavior, being knowledge and understanding of these factors extremely important, both in the definition and structuring of prevention and intervention strategies to this group, and in the social reintegration of recidivist prisoners
