Predicting Frequent and Feared Crime Typologies
The lack of organisation in urban spaces plays a decisive role in the level of integration, communication and social bonds of the residents, impacting the citizens’ feelings of trust and security. Different personal variables and contextual characteristics have been associated with the fear of crime (FOC). The main objective of this study is to analyse how individual and social/environmental variables, and incivilities, predict crime against peop…
Temporal Variability of Theft Types in the Historic Centre of Porto
Criminology theories imply that time is a relevant variable, especially for the prevention and intervention of criminal occurrences. Thus, the study of criminal temporal patterns has been described as being of great relevance. The present study focuses on describing and exploring the influence of temporal and seasonal variables on the occurrence of different types of theft in the Historic Centre of Porto through the analysis of official records o…

This study aimed to access the Portuguese school personnel perception of parental involvement and students’ behavior problems. A study with 333 school personnel, aged between 29 and 66 ( M = 50.84, SD = 7.54), was developed. School personnel’s participants rated parental involvement as low and n…

Segurança e vitimação entre estudantes universitários na cidade do Porto
Apresenta-se um estudo exploratório com 307 estudantes de instituições de ensino superior do Porto. Os participantes de ambos os sexos, com idades entre os 18 e os 48 anos (M = 23; DP = 5.6) responderam a um questionário de diagnóstico local de segurança, a fim de captar as perceções sobre o crime e a vitimação na área, os sentimentos de segurança e as conceções sobre a atuação policial.

Avaliação Psicológica de Jovens com Comportamentos Desviantes
A avaliação psicológica constitui sempre um processo complexo e que deve atender às especificidades inerentes ao indivíduo, ao grupo ou à comunidade. Assim, não se verificam exceções no que respeita às populações com exteriorização de condutas desviantes e, dentro deste grupo muito alargado, devem ainda ser consideradas as especificidades subjacentes ao tipo de comportamento e ao contexto da sua manifestação. Propomos um plano/roteiro de avaliaçã…
Toxicodependência e Vitimação
A toxicodependência apresenta-se ligada a outros problemas, como a prática criminosa e a vitimação. Esta última não tem sido suficientemente explorada, verificando-se que os inquéritos de vitimação não apuram o papel das drogas nas ocorrências criminais, nomeadamente, no que diz respeito à vítima. Contudo, é frequente a presença de substâncias, tanto no ofensor, como na vítima ou em ambos. Este trabalho explora alguns modelos teóricos que acabam …
