Abstract(s)
O processo de tomada de decisão é guiado por um caminho reflexivo e racional, onde os indivíduos ponderam os custos/benefícios (Becker, 1968; Cornish & Clarke, 1987). Por sua vez, o baixo autocontrolo contribui para uma maior probabilidade de envolvimento em comportamentos delinquentes (Pratt & Cullen, 2000). A presente investigação teve como objetivo aplicar a Teoria do Comportamento Planeado (TCP; Ajzen, 1991) ao estudo da intenção criminal relativa ao crime de tráfico de droga. Outro dos intuitos foi relacionar esta intenção com a Escala de Baixo Autocontrolo (Grasmick et al., 1993). De forma a alcançar estes objetivos foram aplicadas duas escalas: uma delas construída especificamente no âmbito desta investigação para mensurar as variáveis inerentes à TCP e outra para operacionalizar as componentes da escala de baixo autocontrolo a uma amostra final de 251 participantes. Os resultados revelaram correlações e regressões estatisticamente significativas entre as variáveis da Teoria do Comportamento Planeado, do autocontrolo, da delinquência autorevelada e da intenção de traficar droga. Entre os resultados reforça-se a importância de considerar os fatores individuais e sociais na análise do processo de tomada de decisão, especialmente no contexto de tráfico de droga. São também apresentados os contributos desta investigação para a Criminologia e propostas para futuras linhas de investigação.
The decision-making process is guided by a reflexive and rational path, where individuals weigh up the costs/benefits (Becker, 1968; Cornish & Clarke, 1987). In turn, low self-control contributes to a greater likelihood of involvement in delinquent behaviour (Pratt & Cullen, 2000). The present investigation aimed to apply the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB; Ajzen, 1991) to the study of the criminal intention relating to the crime of drug trafficking Another of the intentions was to relate this intention to the Low Self-Control Scale (Grasmick et al., 1993). In order to achieve these objectives, two scales were applied: one of them built specifically within the scope of this investigation to measure the variables inherent to TCP and another to operationalize the components of the low self-control scale to a final sample of 251 participants. The results revealed statistically significant correlations and regressions between the variables of the Theory of Planned Behaviour, self-control, self-reported delinquency and the intention to traffic drugs. The results reinforce the importance of considering individual and social factors when analysing the decision-making process, especially in the context of drug trafficking. The contributions of this research to Criminology and proposals for future lines of research are also presented.
