Resumo(s)
A vitimação policial constitui uma realidade sensível da atividade policial, na qual o polícia, apesar de assumir uma função de proteção, autoridade e controlo, pode também ocupar o lugar de vítima. Apesar do crescente interesse científico pela violência contra polícias, a literatura continua a ser limitada no que respeita à experiência subjetiva de vitimação e ao modo como os polícias vivenciam as consequências das agressões sofridas em serviço. O presente estudo procurou compreender a experiência de polícias da Polícia de Segurança Pública (PSP) vítimas de agressão durante o serviço, analisando os impactos físicos e psicológicos percebidos e as estratégias mobilizadas para lidar com essas consequências. Para o efeito, realizou-se um estudo qualitativo, através da análise de conteúdo de entrevistas semiestruturadas realizadas a 12 polícias da PSP. Os resultados mostram que, embora tenham sido identificadas consequências físicas, os impactos psicológicos assumiram maior expressão no discurso dos participantes. Evidenciaram ainda perceções de falta de reconhecimento, apoio institucional insuficiente e desvalorização da agressão. As estratégias defensivas mobilizadas são sobretudo individuais e informais. Conclui-se que a vitimação policial não termina no momento da agressão, exigindo maior reconhecimento e acompanhamento institucional.
Police victimisation constitutes a sensitive reality of police activity, in which the police officer, despite assuming a role of protection, authority and control, may also occupy the position of victim. Despite the growing scientific interest in violence against police officers, the literature remains limited with regard to the subjective experience of victimisation and the way in which police officers experience the consequences of assaults suffered while on duty. The present study sought to understand the experience of police officers of the Polícia de Segurança Pública (PSP) who were victims of assault while on duty, analysing the perceived physical and psychological impacts and the strategies mobilised to deal with these consequences. To this end, a qualitative study was carried out through content analysis of semi-structured interviews conducted with 12 PSP police officers. The results show that, although physical consequences were identified, psychological impacts were more strongly expressed in the participants’ discourse. They also evidenced perceptions of lack of recognition, insufficient institutional support and devaluation of the assault. The defensive strategies mobilised are mainly individual and informal. It is concluded that police victimisation does not end at the moment of the assault, requiring greater recognition and institutional support.
