Abstract(s)
A presente dissertação explora a relação entre a segurança/insegurança e a vitimação da
população residente, trabalhadora e estudante do Centro Histórico do Porto. Visto que
esta relação é uma temática ainda pouco explorada em Portugal, esta investigação tornase
relevante, principalmente por ter como foco uma área urbanizada e claramente com
um elevado fluxo populacional, tornando-se mais vulnerável. Como tal, foram
estabelecidos como principais objetivos: a análise da perceção da população a respeito da
(in)segurança da zona em causa, bem como a identificação de situações de vitimação nos
últimos cinco anos, quer seja esta direta ou indireta, procedendo à sua devida
caraterização.
Para ser concebível a realização desta investigação, optou-se por um desenho de estudo
de caráter exploratório, descritivo, transversal, e ainda observacional baseado no
autorrelato. O questionário em causa foi administrado a 195 indivíduos, de ambos os
sexos, com idades compreendidas entre os 18 e 87 anos. Posto isto, os resultados
demonstraram que 26,2% da população inquirida afirma não considerar a zona em
questão segura, sendo que o furto e o roubo surgem como os crimes que mais observam
e mais temem neste determinado local. Verificou-se ainda que 43 dos participantes foram
vítimas de um crime nos últimos cinco anos, e cerca de 71 elementos da amostra
conhecem alguém que o tenha sido: porém, é evidente o descontentamento das vítimas
quanto à atuação das autoridades.
Pretende-se, deste modo, salientar a importância que a administração de Diagnósticos
Locais de Segurança poderá possuir para a extensão do conhecimento da criminalidade e
perceção de segurança/insegurança de determinada comunidade, de tal forma que se
tornem mais percetíveis as medidas que as instâncias formais deverão submeter para que
seja possível o decréscimo da criminalidade e aumento do sentimento de segurança por
parte da população que se move diariamente na zona.
This dissertation explores the relationship between security/insecurity and the victimization of the resident, working and student population of the Historic Center of Porto. Since this relationship is a subject that has not yet been explored in Portugal, this research becomes relevant, mainly because it focuses on an urbanized area and clearly with a high population flow, becoming more vulnerable. As such, the following main objectives were established: the analysis of the perception of the population about the (in) security of the area in question, as well as the identification of victimization situations in the last five years, whether direct or indirect, plus its characterization. In order to be conceivable the realization of this investigation, a study design of exploratory, descriptive, cross-sectional, and still observational character based on selfreport was chosen. The questionnaire was administered to 195 individuals of both genders, aged between 18 and 87 years. That said, the results showed that 26,2% of the population surveyed said they did not consider the area in question safe and that theft and robbery appear as the crimes they most observe and fear in this particular place. It was also verified that 43 of the participants were victims of a crime in the last five years, and about 71 elements of the sample know someone who has been: however, it is evident the displeasure of the victims regarding the actions of the authorities. It’s intended, therefore, to emphasize the importance that the administration of Local Security Diagnostics can possess for the extension of knowledge of crime and perception of security/insecurity of a certain community, in such a way will be more perceptible the measures that the instances should be submitted so that, in the future, could be possible to decrease crime and increase the sense of security by the population that moves daily in the area.
