Abstract(s)
O presente projeto de graduação foi realizado no âmbito da Licenciatura em Criminologia, da Universidade Fernando Pessoa. A temática enquadra-se no fenómeno da violência contra a pessoa idosa com enfase sobre o abuso financeiro.
É cada vez mais evidente o aumento da longevidade e o decréscimo da natalidade a nível mundial, por consequência verifica-se que a população idosa tende a aumentar. As sociedades atuais deparam-se cada vez mais com novos desafios relacionados com esta população, dos quais a violência faz parte. Face à dimensão e evolução destas problemáticas, verifica-se a necessidade de realizar estudos que permitam um maior conhecimento destes fenómenos e num futuro auxilie algum projeto de investigação ou de estudo na área.
Posto isto, neste estudo aborda-se a problemática do envelhecimento, posteriormente debruça-se sobre o fenómeno da violência contra esta população. No estudo empírico através de entrevistas a informadores privilegiados em função da sua profissão poderemos ter uma noção mais real dos fenómenos abordados.
Clarifica-se fatores de risco associados à violência contra a pessoa idosa e por último aborda-se a relação existente entre as condutas violentas perpetuadas contra esta população e a sua tipificação no Código Penal Português.
This present graduation project was developed in the scope of the Bachelor’s Degree in Criminology, taught at Fernando Pessoa’s University. This project verses on the violence against elders, with a bigger focus on economic abuse. On a global scale is getting more evident an increase on the human life expectancy, which, paired with a decrease on human birth rates, causes a notourious increase in the elder population. Society nowadays finds itself dealing with new and harder challenges associated with this elder population, one of which is violence. Due to the growing evolution of these challenges, it’s starting to exist a pressing necessity to study those same challenges in order to shed some light on these problems, as well as to open a path to future research. Following this necessity, this project focus on the challenges of ageing, namely on the violence against elders phenomenon. Using empirical research, we had access to interviews to privileged informants that, due to their professions, helped us establish a real context to the subject matter. We clarify risk factors associated with this type of violence and, as a conclusion, we offer a connection between these violent behaviors against elders and their legal ramifications, as foreseen in the Portuguese Penal Code.
