Abstract(s)
O stalking constitui uma forma de violência interpessoal composta por comportamentos persistentes, intimidatórios e indesejados. Com a criminalização deste fenómeno em Portugal desde 2015, apesar do impacto positivo, ainda persistem dificuldades na sua definição e aplicação prática.
O presente projeto tem como foco compreender em que consiste o stalking e o respetivo impacto na vítima, frequentemente desvalorizada socialmente.
Com base num estudo empírico qualitativo e exploratório, seria possível analisar as consequências psicológicas, sociais e económicas do stalking, bem como os mecanismos de apoio disponíveis e a sua eficácia. Este estudo seria realizado através de entrevistas semiestruturadas a vítimas de stalking, para melhor compreensão do impacto da vitimação de forma realista, as estratégias utilizadas e a sua perceção quanto à eficácia da aplicação legal e mecanismos de apoio.
Além destes pontos fulcrais, é importante salientar a formação dos profissionais envolvidos com esta tipologia de crime. Concluindo que, apesar dos avanços legais e sociais, há um percurso longo ainda a ser realizado para que haja uma reformulação da definição legal, um (re)conhecimento face à vitimação e ajuda necessária nessas situações, e um maior conhecimento social acerca desta temática. Este trabalho reforça as práticas mais centradas na vítima e o apoio dado às mesmas.
A pertinência deste projeto reside também na sua capacidade de dar visibilidade a um fenómeno frequentemente invisibilizado pelas estruturas sociais e legais, considerando de elevada importância a possibilidade de estudo através da análise dos testemunhos das vítimas deste crime. Pretendendo-se não só compreender o impacto multidimensional da perseguição nas vítimas, mas também contribuir para o desenvolvimento de medidas concretas que possam ser adotadas por entidades públicas e privadas no sentido de uma atuação mais eficaz e sensível.
Deste modo, pretende-se reforçar a necessidade de uma abordagem integrada, que envolva a articulação entre o apoio jurídico, psicológico e social, e que promova um verdadeiro reconhecimento da gravidade deste crime e das suas consequências a longo prazo.
Stalking is a form of interpersonal violence that involves persistent, intimidating and unwanted behaviour. With the criminalisation of this phenomenon in Portugal since 2015, despite its positive impact, difficulties persist in its definition and practical application. This project focuses on understanding what stalking consists of and its impact on the victim, who is often socially undervalued. Based on a qualitative and exploratory empirical study, it would be possible to analyse the psychological, social and economic consequences of stalking, as well as the support mechanisms available and their effectiveness. This study would be conducted through semi-structured interviews with victims of stalking, to better understand the impact of victimisation in a realistic way, the strategies used and their perception of the effectiveness of legal enforcement and support mechanisms. In addition to these key points, it is important to highlight the training of professionals involved in this type of crime. In conclusion, despite legal and social advances, there is still a long way to go to reformulate the legal definition, to recognize victimization and the help needed in these situations, and to increase social awareness about this issue. This work reinforces practices that are more victim-centered and the support given to victims. The relevance of this project also lies in its ability to shed light on a phenomenon that is often rendered invisible by social and legal structures, highlighting the importance of studying it through the analysis of victim testimonies. The aim is not only to understand the multidimensional impact of stalking on victims but also to contribute to the development of concrete measures that can be adopted by public and private entities to ensure a more effective and sensitive response. In this sense, the project seeks to reinforce the need for an integrated approach that involves coordination between legal, psychological, and social support, promoting genuine recognition of the seriousness of this crime and its long-term consequences.
