RESUMO
A violência doméstica é uma conduta que assume todas as formas de abuso que acontecem nas relações entre os indivíduos da família e um fenómeno transversal a toda a sociedade, na qual cada vez mais os Profissionais das Forças de Segurança (PFS) têm um papel fundamental no auxílio às vítimas e prevenção neste tipo de crime.
Os estereótipos, crenças e mitos sobre a violência enraizados na sociedade contemporânea, são geralmente falsos, mas são amplamente persistentes, servindo para minimizar, negar ou justificar a agressão pelo perpetuador. Refletir, analisar e desmitificar as crenças é fundamental, para se compreenderem os preconceitos e as atitudes presentes na sociedade, perante o crime de violência doméstica.
Sendo os PFS uma peça basilar no mecanismo da violência e como pessoas da sociedade, também possuem atitudes e crenças como os demais. Perante esta ambivalência é pertinente conhecer as suas crenças sobre o crime de violência doméstica.
É finalidade deste projeto conhecer as crenças da Violência Doméstica e as dificuldades sentidas pelas/os PFS, quando encaram com situações desta natureza. Para chegar a esse propósito e avaliar as dificuldades, utilizámos, dois instrumentos, a saber: um questionário elaborado para o efeito e a Escala de Crenças sobre a Violência Conjugal (ECVC), desenvolvida (Machado, Matos & Gonçalves, 2008).
Os resultados da ECVC demonstraram não existir diferenças significativas no score total da escala, quer em todas outras subescala, com exceção da subescala “legitimação da violência pela sua atribuição a causas externas”, nos sujeitos mais velhos e no sexo masculino.
ABSTRACT Domestic violence is a behavior that takes all forms of abuse that occur in relations between members of the family and it is also a wide transversal phenomenon in society, where professional security forces (PFS) have an increasing role in helping the victims and preventing this type of crime. The stereotype, beliefs and myths about violence rooted in contemporary society are generally false, but widely persistent tend to minimize, deny or justify aggression by the perpetrator. Reflecting, analyzing and demystifying beliefs are essential to understand the prejudices and attitudes in society towards the crime of domestic violence. The PFS are a fundamental piece in the mechanism of violence, therefore being also members of society share the same attitudes and beliefs as others. Given this ambiguity is relevant to know the beliefs about the crime of domestic violence. The purpose of this project is to know the beliefs of domestic violence and the difficulties experienced by PFS when facing such situations. In order to attain that purpose, we used two methods: a survey specifically created and the Scale of beliefs of matrimonial violence (ECVC) written by (Machado, Matos & Gonçalves, 2008). The results achieved with ECVC showed us a lack of significant differences in the full length of the scale and all of the subscales with the exception of the subscale “Legitimation of violence for its attribution to external causes” in older individuals and in the male gender.
