Principales factores psicosociales que influyen en conductas delictivas en centros de privación de libertad de mujeres

Abstract

It has been seen that women commit criminal acts to satisfy their basic need and those of others; however, there are psychosocial factors that incite women to transgress the law. Therefore, the purpose of this bibliographic investigation is to analyze the main theoretical debates about the psychosocial risk factors that have an influence in the criminal behavior of women deprived of freedom. The work mentioned was developed around the literary analysis of texts published in Spain, Portugal, Brazil, Mexico and Colombia. On the other hand, an analysis matrix was used to facilitate the interpretation of the information acquired from the texts analyzed in this research. The conclusions obtain indicate that factors related to family, economic and couple, have a strong influence in the criminal behavior among women and also the presence of theoretical paradigms. In addition, this literary analysis seeks to provide a broader view in society about the fact that not only men commit crimes to a great extent, but also, due to the progress in the development of human being, women are increasingly involved in this kind of criminal act.
