Abstract(s)
O presente estudo, do tipo exploratório e qualitativo, teve como principal objetivo
analisar as características das mulheres que cometeram o homicídio contra o seu
parceiro íntimo e as características dos homicídios por si praticados, bem como
identificar os fatores de risco associados a esta problemática. Para tal, foram
selecionados e analisados os processos-crime relativos a casos de homicídio perpetrados por mulheres (n = 12), ocorridos entre 2008 e 2013, nas zonas de Lisboa, Lisboa Norte, Lisboa Oeste, Braga e Vila Real. Os fatores de risco identificados com maior prevalência nas mulheres homicidas foram, os antecedentes criminais, a violência contra membros da família e/ou conhecidos, a posse/acesso a armas de fogo, os problemas relacionados com o abuso de substâncias, os antecedentes psiquiátricos, os problemas no emprego e, ainda, o histórico de violência no casal prévia ao homicídio. Quanto às relações em que existiu violência prévia (n = 10), verificou-se que as formas de violência mais frequentes foram a violência física e a violência psicológica, sendo que, em 50% dos casos, a vítima de homicídio era o perpetrador da violência na relação.
Constatou-se ainda que, em 50% dos casos em que as mulheres homicidas foram
vítimas de violência por parte do seu parceiro íntimo, existiam denúncias já realizadas
pelas mesmas às autoridades. Tendo presente que nos casos de homicídios cometidos
por mulheres contra os seus parceiros íntimos existe uma forte prevalência de casos
derivados de um historial de violência no casal, torna-se necessário um maior
investimento na investigação desta problemática, resultando numa rigorosa produção de
conhecimento científico sobre as motivações, as especificidades e as características
desta tipologia de homicídio, bem como o aperfeiçoamento de práticas de avaliação de
risco de violência letal e, consequentemente, contribuir para a prevenção deste crime
especialmente violento.
The present study, of the kind exploratory and qualitative, had as principal goal analysed the characteristics of women that committed homicide against her intimate partner and the characteristics from the homicide practised by them, also identify risk factors associated to this problematic. For that, were selected and analysed the crime processes relative to homicide cases perpetrated by women (n=12), occurred between 2008 and 2013, in the areas of Lisbon, North Lisbon, West Lisbon, Braga and Vila Real. The risk factors identified with more prevalence in homicidal women were,criminal background, violence against family members and/or known people,possession and access to fire guns, problems related with substances abuse, psychiatric background, problems at the job and background of conjugal violence before the homicide. With respect to relationships, that had violence before (n=10), it was found that the ways of violence more frequent were physical and psychological violence, being that, on 50% of the cases, the homicide victim was the perpetrators of violence in the relationship. Was also found that in homicidal women, 50 % of the cases were victims of violence by their intimate partner, and there are already complaints done to the authorities by them. Taking into account that in the cases of homicides committed by women against their intimate partners there is a strong prevalence of cases derived from a history of violence in the couple, make it necessary, a bigger investment on investigation on this phenomenon, researching in a rigorous production of knowledge scientific about motivations, specific aspects and characteristics of this typology of homicide, such as the improvement of practices of evaluation of risk of lethal violence and, consequently, contribute to the prevention of this special violent crime.
