Abstract

This work is a monograph that meets one of the requirements for obtaining the title of Bachelor in Social and Community Psychology. With the title "Psychological factors associated with criminal recidivism among women: Case study of the Special Penitentiary Establishment for Women in Ndlavela", the monograph has the general objective of analyzing the psychological factors associated with criminal recidivism among women. This is an exploratory qualitative research, which uses the case study approach. The sample consisted of four female prisoners at the Ndlavela Special Penitentiary for Women. The results indicate that the experiences of female recidivists before imprisonment were characterized by a predominantly school and domestic routine, with some carrying out paid activities, such as hairdressing, and living with their families. During the period of incarceration, her daily activities included farm work, cleaning the yard, cooking, dancing and fine arts. Furthermore, they maintained good relationships, marked by cooperation and mutual assistance. Regarding the psychological factors related to criminal recidivism, the responses obtained suggest an antisocial tendency. To reduce recidivism, the prisoners suggested the creation of a detoxification sector and the creation of professional training courses, as a way of facilitating the reintegration of women into the job market.(TRADUÇÃO NOSSA)
