Abstract(s)
No contexto das culturas organizacionais, a cultura policial ganha especial destaque devido
à sua elevada complexidade, considerando não só as especificidades da atividade policial
como também o escrutínio a que as polícias estão constantemente sujeitas, pela sociedade
em geral. A adaptação à cultura policial é um dos principais fatores que caracterizam o
processo de socialização organizacional, representando um potencial obstáculo para uma
integração saudável dos novos polícias. Contudo, a sua influência, no seio da Polícia de
Segurança Pública (PSP), não tem sido objeto de atenção no que diz respeito à sua
integração. Com este estudo propusemo-nos a criar um instrumento adequado para a
avaliação dos efeitos da cultura policial no processo de socialização dos novos agentes da
PSP, englobando a formação inicial e a integração no serviço das esquadras, sedimentando
as bases para uma nova linha de investigação virada para a caracterização da cultura policial
dominante. A construção deste instrumento resultou da revisão da literatura científica, que
identifica sete dimensões basilares da cultura policial (sentido de missão, atração pela ação,
cinismo e pessimismo; suspeição; isolamento e solidariedade; conservadorismo; machismo;
preconceito racial; e, pragmatismo) e também da análise de conteúdo de entrevistas
realizadas a sete agentes da PSP do 15.º Curso de Formação de Agentes (CFA). O
instrumento criado (AICP-PSP) permitirá a realização de investigações futuras de natureza
longitudinal com o intuito de caracterizar a cultura policial dominante na PSP e a sua
influência no processo de socialização dos novos agentes.
In the context of organisational cultures, police culture gains special emphasis due to its high complexity, considering not only the specificities of police activity but also the scrutiny to which police forces are constantly subjected, by society in general. Adaptation to police culture is one of the main factors that characterise the organisational socialisation process, representing a potential obstacle to a healthy integration of new police officers. However, its influence within the Public Security Police (PSP) has not yet been the focus of attention as regards to the integration of said police officers. With this study we set out to create a suitable instrument for the assessment of the effects of police culture on the socialisation process of new agents of the PSP, encompassing initial training and integration in police stations, laying the foundations for a new line of research aimed at characterising the dominant police culture. The construction process for this instrument was based on the scientific literature on the matter of police culture, in which there are seven identifiable main dimensions (sense of mission, action, cynicism and pessimism; suspicion; isolation and solidarity; conservatism; machismo; racial prejudice; and, pragmatism) and on the content analysis of interviews conducted do seven PSP agents from the 15th Training Course for Agents (CFA). The instrument created (AICP-PSP) will allow future longitudinal research to be carried out with the purpose of characterising the dominant police culture in the PSP and its influence on the socialisation process of its new agents.
