Abstract(s)
O comportamento de incĂȘndio constitui um dos tipos de crime mais comuns na realidade portuguesa, e dos que mais consequĂȘncias financeiras e impacto social tĂȘm. O incĂȘndio urbano Ă© um tipo de crime que tem vindo a aumentar o nĂșmero de ocorrĂȘncias nos Ășltimos anos. Desta forma, o objetivo deste trabalho de investigação consiste na caracterização da realidade do incĂȘndio urbano em Portugal, tendo em vista a elaboração de uma grelha de anĂĄlise sobre este fenĂłmeno que auxilie a monitorização deste tipo de crime no contexto da justiça, recorrendo aos fatores de risco que a literatura diz estarem na base destes comportamentos. Recorreu-se a metodologia qualitativa com anĂĄlise de conteĂșdo a partir de consulta processual. Os resultados da presente investigação sugerem uma ocorrĂȘncia do incĂȘndio urbano, tendencialmente, em contextos em que os indivĂduos sofrem de doença mental ou presença de consumos excessivos ou dependĂȘncia de ĂĄlcool, bem como em situaçÔes de tĂ©rmino de relacionamento amoroso. SĂŁo indivĂduos com baixas competĂȘncias sociais e baixa coesĂŁo familiar, demarcados dĂ©fices de controlo de impulsos e na resolução adaptativa de problemas. O presente estudo contribui para uma compreensĂŁo do fenĂłmeno, sendo este um estudo-piloto para a realidade portuguesa. Estudos futuros devem recorrer, igualmente, a metodologia qualitativa para investigaçÔes nesta temĂĄtica, sob forma de entrevistas semiestruturadas aos agressores a fim de colmatar limitaçÔes da presente investigação e permitir uma recolha de informação mais detalhada da histĂłria de vida dos incendiĂĄrios urbanos e estabelecer ligação entre este aspeto e os fatores de risco presentes nestes indivĂduos.
Arson is one of the most common crime behaviors that occurs in the portuguese reality, and it has the biggest consequences, economically and socially. Urban arson is a type of crime that has increased the number of occurrences in the recent years. Thus, the objective of this research is to identify the reality of urban arson in Portugal, to compose an analysis grid on this phenomenon that may help to monitor this type of crime in the context of justice, based on risk factors that the literature claims to underlie these behaviors. A qualitative methodology was used, first in criminal case consultation and then content analysis technique. The results suggest that urban arson occurrs in contexts of mental illness or acohol abuse, as well as in situations of ending a romantic relationship. The individuals that commit the sort of crime are socially isolated, with low family cohesion, impulse control and problem-solving deficits. This study contributes to the understanding of the phenomenon, which is a pilot study for the portuguese reality. Future studies should also implement a qualitative methodology for investigations on this subject, in the form of semi-structured interviews with this offensors to get more information of their life history to explain certain risk factors that are present in the adult life.
