Abstract(s)
“É muito importante avaliar a vitimação de populações específicas como esta, devendo atender-se ao papel das drogas e integrando-se a componente da vitimação nos programas de atendimento” (Nunes & Sani, 2014). Esta afirmação sublinha a necessidade científica e social de compreender como consumo e vitimação se cruzam na vida de pessoas adictas. As trajetórias transgressivas de indivíduos adictos a substâncias psicoativas são uma realidade marcada por fragilidades acumuladas e por experiências recorrentes de vitimação. Este estudo procura perceber como estes percursos se formam e se sustentam, olhando para o consumo e para os contextos familiar, social e relacional que o antecedem e o prolongam. A investigação seguiu uma metodologia mista do tipo convergente-paralelo, combinando análise quantitativa e qualitativa de autorrelatos. A amostra incluiu 23 participantes, todos do sexo masculino, em acompanhamento institucional por consumo problemático de substâncias, com idades entre 28 e 66 anos (M = 49,87; DP = 10,60). O objetivo geral foi identificar fatores e características que possam ter favorecido o desenvolvimento de trajetórias transgressivas, bem como reconhecer elementos que surgem como consequência desses percursos. Foram também exploradas a sequência de eventos de vida, os pontos de convergência, divergência e inflexão, e a prevalência de situações de vitimação. Os resultados destacam o início precoce dos consumos, a vitimação intrafamiliar, o abandono escolar e a precariedade socioeconómica como fatores na formação das trajetórias. Entre as consequências, salientam-se o policonsumo, as recaídas frequentes, o desemprego, a exclusão social e o estigma persistente. A vitimação apareceu ao longo do curso de vida: primeiro no contexto familiar e, mais tarde, nas redes ligadas ao consumo, tornando-se um traço que marca estes percursos. Conclui-se que as trajetórias transgressivas não se explicam por escolhas individuais isoladas, mas por vulnerabilidades acumuladas que antecedem e acompanham a adicção. Este conhecimento oferece indicações para políticas de prevenção e reinserção e reforça a necessidade de respostas sociais ajustadas à complexidade das vidas em análise.
“It is very important to assess the victimization of specific populations such as this one, taking into account the role of drugs and integrating the component of victimization into treatment programs” (Nunes & Sani, 2014). This statement highlights the scientific and social need to understand how consumption and victimization intersect in the lives of addicted individuals. The transgressive trajectories of people addicted to psychoactive substances are shaped by accumulated vulnerabilities and repeated experiences of victimization. This study aimed to explore how these paths emerge and are sustained, considering not only substance use but also the family, social, and relational contexts that precede and extend beyond it. The research followed a convergent-parallel mixed-method design, combining quantitative and qualitative analyses of self-reports. The sample consisted of 23 male participants, all in institutional care due to problematic substance use, aged between 28 and 66 years (M = 49.87; SD = 10.60). The main objective was to identify factors and characteristics that may have contributed to the development of transgressive trajectories, as well as to recognize elements that arise as consequences of these life courses. The study also examined the sequence of events, points of convergence, divergence and inflection, and the prevalence of victimization. Findings emphasize the role of early initiation into substance use, intrafamilial victimization, school dropout, and socioeconomic precarity in shaping these trajectories. As consequences, polysubstance use, frequent relapses, unemployment, social exclusion, and persistent stigma were recurrent. Victimization was present across the life course: initially within the family, and later in networks linked to drug use, consolidating itself as a defining feature of these paths. The study concludes that transgressive trajectories cannot be explained by isolated individual choices but by the accumulation of vulnerabilities that both precede and accompany addiction. This knowledge provides guidance for prevention and reintegration policies and underlines the importance of social responses that consider the complexity of the lives under analysis.
