Abstract(s)
A delinquência juvenil é uma questão cada vez mais preocupante na sociedade, assumindo maior visibilidade e reconhecimento público. O comportamento antissocial persistente é revelado cedo em muitos indivíduos através da manifestação de certas características que favorecem o comportamento delinquente. Assim, crianças e adolescentes que apresentam essas mesmas características são percebidas como socialmente inadequadas, pois os seus mecanismos de interação e resolução de problemas também são socialmente inapropriados. Vários fatores, como cultura, práticas de socialização familiar e temperamento da criança, podem maximizar ou minimizar a probabilidade de ocorrência desse comportamento. Portanto, é essencial identificar esses fatores de risco na vida desses adolescentes o mais precoce possível, na tentativa de prevenir o desenvolvimento de carreira criminal futura. Para tanto, foi realizado um estudo qualitativo, que teve como principal objetivo a análise da presença de indicadores de risco para o desenvolvimento de psicopatia, que parecem associados a atitudes e comportamentos desviantes e desadaptativos na adolescência. Foram analisados vinte processos de adolescentes infratores institucionalizados, com idades compreendidas entre 14 e 18 anos.
Verificou-se que muitos desses adolescentes apresentaram muitos fatores de risco para comportamentos antissociais que podem evoluir (por exemplo, ausência de culpa pelas suas ações, falta de empatia com as vítimas, irresponsabilidade e impulsividade) e, por conseguinte, podem levar ao enraizamento de normas inaceitáveis de conduta social, iniciando um modo de vida delinquente.
A presença de traços de frieza e insensibilidade emocional, como impulsividade e irresponsabilidade, bem como as dimensões de grandiosidade e manipulação, mostram-se presentes pela ausência de culpa ou remorso, ausência de empatia e afeto superficial, que mais tarde na idade adulta podem dar origem a comportamentos desviantes e delinquentes. Para uma melhor compreensão do fenómeno, espera-se identificar comportamentos antissociais em adolescentes por meio deste estudo, assim como fatores de risco que demonstrem que características específicas podem evoluir para comportamentos delinquentes mais graves.
Juvenile delinquency is an increasingly worrying issue in society, assuming increasing visibility and public recognition. Antisocial and persistent behaviour is early revealed in many individuals through certain characteristics that will later lead them to become involved in delinquency, as well as crime in general. So, children and adolescents exhibiting these same characteristics, are seen as socially inadequate, since their mechanisms of interaction and problem solving are also socially inadequate. Various factors such as culture, family socialization practices and the child's temperament may maximize or minimize the probability of such behaviour to occur. It is therefore essential to recognise these risk factors in the lives of these adolescents as early as possible, in an attempt to reduce adult crime. Qualitative study, through the analysis of twenty cases of institutionalized adolescent offenders, aged between 14 and 18 years. The analysis of the presence of risk indicators for the development of psychopathy, which appear associated with deviant and maladaptive attitudes and behaviours during adolescence, was the main objective. It was found that many of these adolescents have many risk factors for antisocial behaviour that could evolve (e.g., absence of guilt towards their actions, lack of empathy towards the victims, irresponsibility and impulsiveness), which may lead to the rooting of unacceptable norms of social conduct, initiating a delinquent way of life. The presence of traits of coldness and emotional insensitivity, such as impulsiveness and irresponsibility, as well as the dimensions of grandiosity and manipulation, are shown to be present through the absence of guilt or remorse, absence of empathy and superficial affection, which later in adulthood may give rise to deviant and delinquent behaviour. For a better understanding of the phenomenon, it is expected to identify antisocial behaviours in adolescents through this study, as well as risk factors that demonstrate that specific characteristics may evolve to more serious delinquent behaviours.
