- Burla romântica: em torno de um conceito de vitimaçãoPublication . Guerreiro, Ana; Costa, Luís; Carneiro, Ana Teresa; Cruz, Olga SouzaO presente artigo pretende contribuir para a compreensão das relações sociais virtuais e a sua utilização maliciosa, contextualizando a burla romântica, também conhecida por romance fraud, enquanto fenómeno criminal emergente. Ao analisar a interconexão entre os aspetos legais, sociais e os mecanismos criminosos, e a partir de um destaque particular para os processos de vitimação subjacentes a este fenómeno criminal, procura-se fornecer uma base de conhecimento sólida para futuras pesquisas e intervenções, promovendo uma abordagem holística e informada ao romance fraud, de modo a que seja possível mitigar o seu impacto criminológico na sociedade contemporânea quer do ponto de vista nacional, quer internacional.
- Preventing gender-based violence: Portuguese youth perspectives on primary prevention programsPublication . Iglesias, Camila; Rodrigues, Raquel; Guerreiro, Ana; Pontedeira, Cátia; Magalhães, Maria JoséGender-based violence (GBV) remains a pressing societal issue that requires urgent attention. Although there have been efforts to implement GBV prevention programs in Portugal, research assessing their long-term impact on young people is notably scarce. This study seeks to address this gap by examining the perceptions and experiences of young individuals involved in these programs. The research captures a comprehensive view of the participants’ perspectives through in-depth interviews. The findings reveal personal and interpersonal effects from participation in GBV prevention initiatives. They highlight the necessity for such programs to commence in early childhood to maximize their effectiveness and societal impact over time. Moreover, the research indicates that these initiatives influence youth’s personal development, relationships, career aspirations and professional choices. Consequently, this study advocates for the broader implementation of holistic GBV prevention programs in educational settings and calls for further investigation into their long-lasting outcomes. It emphasizes the importance of adopting a holistic, structured, and interactive approach to primary prevention, ultimately empowering future generations and creating a safer society for all.
