Abstract(s)
Criminalidade e género: Homicídios praticados por mulheres em Angola é um estudo que
procura analisar e compreender a relação entre o género e a criminalidade em Angola. Mais
especificamente, pretende-se encontrar as racionalidades intrínsecas à perpetração de crimes de
homicídio cometidos por mulheres a cumprir pena judiciária nos principais Estabelecimentos
Prisionais de Angola, através da análise dos seus sentidos e significados sobre o crime, das suas
trajectórias de vida e das representações sobre as lógicas de acção nas quais se inseriram os seus
comportamentos violentos. A construção do objecto de estudo organizou-se a partir da
conjugação das teorias interaccionistas do desvio e das teorias feministas na abordagem sobre a
criminologia. Fez-se, também, uma abordagem à cultura Bantu com o objectivo de ajudar a
explicar alguns factores culturais que influenciaram os crimes de homicídio. As metodologias
qualitativas assumiram uma posição privilegiada por se ajustar à complexidade do objecto em
estudo, tendo sido realizadas 61 entrevistas a mulheres internadas em estabelecimentos prisionais
de oito das 18 províncias do país. No que se refere ao tratamento dos dados, recorreu-se à análise
de conteúdo, permitindo interpretar os conteúdos dos discursos. Foi possível compreender a
existência de quatro factores directamente associados à perpetração de crimes de homicídio por
parte de mulheres em Angola: violência e agressão como desencadeadores do crime de
homicídio; a agressão resultante da crença em feitiçaria; crimes de homicídio resultantes da
violência doméstica e consumo de álcool e, por último, crimes de homicídio praticados sob o
efeito do consumo excessivo de álcool.
Crime and gender: Homicides committed by women in Angola is a study that sought to analyse and understand the relationship between gender and crime in Angola. More specifically, it was sought to seek the intrinsic rationale for the perpetration of homicide crimes by women serving their sentences in the main prisons in Angola, through the analysis of their meanings and meanings on crime, through their life trajectories and representations about the logic of action in which their violent behaviour was inserted. The construction of the object of study was organized from the combination of the interactionist theories of deviation and feminist theories in the approach on criminology. An approach to Bantu culture was also made to help explain some of the cultural factors that have influenced homicide crimes. Qualitative methodologies assumed a privileged position because they were adjusted to the complexity of the object being studied, and 61 interviews were carried out on women interned in prisons in 8 of the country's 18 provinces. With regard to data processing, content analysis was used to interpret the contents of speeches. It was possible to understand the existence of four factors directly associated with the interpretation of homicide crimes by women in Angola: the arbitrary aggression that results in homicide; the aggression resulting from belief in witchcraft; homicide crimes resulting from domestic violence and alcohol consumption and, lastly, homicide crimes committed under the influence of excessive alcohol consumption.
