Resumo
O presente estudo pretende caracterizar as experiências de vitimação indireta na
infância, as experiências de violência (vitimação e perpretação) no contexto prisional, o
estado psicológico dos reclusos, homens e mulheres, e analisar se estas variáveis estão ou
não interligadas. Para esse efeito, recolheu-se uma amostra de 394 participantes em
situação de reclusão em vários Estabelecimentos Prisionais da Região Norte. Neste estudo,
foram aplicados como instrumentos um questionário sociodemográfico e criminal, o
Questionário de História de Adversidade na Infância (ACE) e, o Inventário de Sintomas
Psicopatológicos (BSI). Os resultados demonstraram que 130 reclusos relatam ter pais
separados ou divorciados, 119 vivenciaram algum tipo de violência doméstica, 84
habitaram com alguém com problemas de abuso de substâncias, 84 relataram ter habitado
com alguém que se suicidou, tentou suicidar-se ou tinha alguma perturbação mental e 106
dos participantes tiveram algum familiar preso. Relativamente às experiências de violência
no contexto prisional, 97 dos reclusos referem já ter sofrido algum tipo de violência
enquanto que, 68 admitem já ter praticado algum tipo de violência no Estabelecimento
Prisional. Verifica-se que os participantes que relataram ter sofrido algum tipo de violência
no Estabelecimento Prisional apresentam níveis superiores de Adversidade na Infância
quando comparados com os participantes que não sofreram qualquer tipo de violência. O
mesmo se aplica aos participantes que relataram ter praticado algum tipo de violência no
Estabelecimento Prisional.
The present study aims to characterize the experiences of indirect victimization in childhood, the experiences of violence (victimization and perpetuation) in prison´s context, the psychological condition of prisoners, men and women and to analyse whether these variables are interrelated or not. For this purpose a sample of 394 participants in situation of imprisonment in several Prison Establishments in the North was collected. In this study a sociodemographic and criminal questionnaire, the Childhood Adversity History Questionnaire (ACE) and the Inventory of Psychopathological Symptoms (BSI) were used as tools. The results showed that 130 prisoners referred having separated or divorced parents, 119 experienced some type of domestic violence, 84 lived with someone who had problems with substance, 84 reported having lived with someone who committed suicide, tried suicide or had some mental disturbance and 106 of the participants had a family member who had been arrested. Concerning the experiences of violence in prison´s context, 97 of the prisoners reported having already suffered some type of violence, while 68 admitted having already practiced some type of violence in the Prison´s Establishment. We can see that the participants who reported having suffered some type of violence in Prison have higher levels of Adversity in Childhood compared to the participants who did not suffer any type of violence. The same applies to participants who reported having committed some type of violence in Prison.
