Abstract(s)
A delinquência juvenil tem surgido actualmente como uma consequência de falhas em diversos aparelhos sociais. Encontrando-se os jovens num período conturbado da sua vida, urge a necessidade de um permanente acompanhamento da sociedade civil direccionado, essencialmente, para a prevenção de comportamentos desviantes. As abordagens e estudos que se debruçam sobre o fenómeno propriamente dito têm possibilitado a compreensão das suas causas e origens, visando essencialmente a criação de medidas preventivas. Na prossecução desta finalidade, esta investigação visou analisar e compreender o conhecimento que os jovens partilham relativamente aos temas do crime e da violência. Optando por uma abordagem qualitativa, e com base num guião semi-estruturado, entrevistaram-se 20 jovens adolescentes (10 rapazes e 10 raparigas) que, depois de transcritas, constituíram o corpus documental que foi submetido a análise de conteúdo. Os resultados revelam que os jovens falam mais fluentemente acerca do tema do crime do que do tema da violência, embora na violência apresentem informação mais diversificada. Quanto ao crime, os jovens realçam essencialmente os objectivos do crime e a sua definição. Relativamente à violência os jovens destacam o juízo moral sobre a violência, as causas do comportamento violento e a previsão do resultado perante um confronto físico.
Nowadays, juvenile delinquency has emerged as a result of failures inherent in the various social sectors. As young people are in a troubled period of their life, there is an urgent need for a permanent monitoring by civil society, aimed primarily at the prevention of delinquency. Studies and approaches that focus on the phenomenon itself, have allowed understanding its causes and origins, seeking essentially to the creation of preventive measures. Therefore, this research aims to analyze and understand the knowledge that young people share about crime and violence. Using a qualitative approach, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 20 young adolescents (10 boys and 10 girls). Once transcribed, they constituted the corpus of documents that were submitted to a content analysis procedure. The results show that young people speak more fluently about crime than of violence, although in violence they presented more wide-ranging information. Considering the crime issue, young people mainly emphasize its objectives, and definition. About violence, young people highlight the moral judgment about violence, the causes of violent behavior and try to predict the outcome of a physical confrontation.
