Abstract(s)
A vitimação múltipla é uma problemática cada vez mais presente na nossa sociedade. Na verdade, este fenómeno é já estudado noutros países, atentando na sua importância e tendo em conta o impacto que causa nas crianças e nos jovens. Dada a inexistência de estudos acerca da vitimação múltipla em crianças e jovens em Portugal, surgiu a necessidade de estudar esta problemática de modo a consciencializar, prevenir e intervir junto desta população. Inicialmente, houve necessidade de realizar uma revisão sistemática em torno deste tema, de modo a minimizar a escassez de estudos em Portugal. Esta revisão revelou que, numa amostra de 11 artigos, a prevalência da vitimação múltipla variou entre os 9.5% e os 40.6%, o sexo masculino foi quem mais experienciou vitimação e a tipologia de crime mais experienciada foi o crime convencional. Posteriormente, foi administrado o Questionário de Vitimação Juvenil numa escola do distrito de Santarém, a fim de recolher dados acerca da forma de vitimação experienciada. Este estudo, com uma amostra de 218 participantes, revelou que a prevalência da vitimação múltipla foi de 67.9%, sendo que 16.5% dos participantes experienciou quatro ou mais tipos de vitimação (polivítimas), sendo a vitimação por pares a mais experienciada (73.4%), não existindo diferenças significativas quanto ao sexo.
Multiple victimization is a problem that is increasingly present in our society. In fact, this phenomenon has already been studied in other countries, given its importance and taking into account the impact it has on children and young people. Given the lack of studies on multiple victimization in children and young people in Portugal, the need to study this problem in order to raise awareness and prevent and intervene with this population has arisen. Initially, it was necessary to carry out a systematic review around this theme, in order to minimize the paucity of studies in Portugal. This review revealed that, in a sample of 11 articles, the prevalence of multiple victimization ranged from 9.5% to 40.6%; the male victim experienced the most victimization and the most experienced crime typology was conventional crime. Subsequently, the Youth Victimization Questionnaire was administered at a school in the district of Santarém, in order to collect data about the form of victimization experienced. This study, with a sample of 218 participants, revealed that the prevalence of multiple victimization was 67.9%, with 16.5% of the participants experiencing four or more types of victimization (polyvictims), with the most experienced victimization (73.4%), and there were no significant gender differences.
