    Criminal lifestyle, psychopathy and prison adjustment among female inmates
    (Edições Universitárias Lusófonas, 2021) Pinheiro, Marina; Gonçalves, Rui Abrunhosa; Cunha, Olga Cecília Soares da; HEI-LAB - Human Environment Interaction Lab
    Several studies have sought the factors that are related to prison adjustment. However, this construct is poorly explored among female populations and even less so in those with characteristics of psychopathy. Thus, the present study aims to understand prison adjustment among female offenders and determine the role of psychopathy and criminal lifestyle in predicting it. Both institutional infractions and health care utilization were used as indicators of prison adjustment. A sample of 63 female offenders was assessed with the Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL-R) and the Lifestyle Criminality Screening Form-Revised (LSCF-R). 88.9% of female offenders search for health care services, and 67.2% had at least one institutional infraction. Negative binomial regressions revealed that PCL-R total scores, LSCF-R total scores, and drug abuse were predictors of institutional infractions. None of the assessed variables are statistically associated with health care services utilization. These results are of particular importance for psychologists and correctional managers, given the interest in reducing the risk of maladjustment and increase the process of adaptation to prison.

    Dropout among perpetrators of intimate partner violence attending an intervention program
    (Routledge, 2022) Cunha, Olga Cecília Soares da; Silva, Andreia Fernandes da; Cruz, Ana Rita Pereira da; Rodrigues, Andreia de Castro; Braga, Teresa; Gonçalves, Rui Abrunhosa; HEI-LAB - Human Environment Interaction Lab
    Batterer intervention programs (BIPs) are one of the most relevant strategies to reduceintimate partner violence (IPV). However, the rates of dropout are significantly high, whichmay impact the effectiveness of such strategies. Literature has identified several factorsassociated with BIP dropout; nonetheless findings remain inconsistent. The aims of this studywere to analyze the differences between perpetrators who completed the program and thosewho droped out, in terms of sociodemographic, violence-related and intrapersonal variables,as well as identify the predictors of dropout. 83 IPV perpetrators completed a set of measuresthat assessed attitudes toward domestic violence, physical and psychological abuse of apartner, aggression, coping skills, and readiness to change. Variables related to past criminalhistory and sociodemographics were also colletected. 42.2% of IPV perpetrators failed tocomplete the intervention program. The results revealed that age and previous convictions byother crimes than IPV discriminated perpetrators who completed the program from those whodroped out, such that, being young and having a previous conviction predicted dropout. Thesefindings reveal a need to further analyze the impact of these factors so BIPs can be tailored tomeet the specificities of IPV perpetrators and prevent treatment dropout.

    Relação entre impulsividade, psicopatia e criminalidade na idade adulta : um estudo empírico em amostras comunitárias
    (2024) Ferreira, Diogo Alexandre Duarte; Escola de Psicologia e Ciências da Vida; Cunha, Olga Cecília Soares da; CRUZ, ANA RITA PEREIRA DA
    O crime é uma problemática recorrente, proveniente desde os primórdios da Humanidade e que perdurou no tempo até a atualidade. Indivíduos que perpetram atos criminosos têm uma maior probabilidade de apresentar características impulsivas e psicopáticas. O objetivo do estudo atual, de caráter quantitativo e transversal, é analisar a relação existente entre a impulsividade, psicopatia e criminalidade, com foco na população comunitária. A amostra deste estudo é composta por 690 indivíduos, com idades compreendidas entre os 18 e os 73 anos. Para recolha dos dados foi utilizado um questionário demográfico, a Escala de Agressão Premeditada e Impulsiva (IPAS), a Escala de Autorrelato de Psicopatia - Versão Reduzida (SRP-SF), o Questionário de Autorrelato para Medir a Delinquência e o Crime (D-CRIM), e a Escala de Respostas Socialmente Desejáveis-5 (SDRS-5). Os resultados demonstraram que as facetas afetiva e interpessoal se correlacionam com a premeditação e que a relação entre a psicopatia e a criminalidade é moderada pela impulsividade e pela premeditação. Destaca-se a importância de expandir recursos no sentido da intervenção e prevenção como forma de mitigar e controlar atos criminais causados por aspetos como a impulsividade e a premeditação na comunidade, procurando salvaguardar estas populações.
