RESUMENEn este estudio de corte cualitativo, se entrevistaron 94 mujeres que estaban o habían estado en la cárcel. Se analizaron sus relatos de vida, con el fin de responder a la pregunta: ¿por qué las mujeres delinquen y por qué desisten del delito? Del análisis de contenido temático se hallaron tres categorías principales: violencia de género, vínculos afectivos y cuidado. Se encontró que haber sufrido violencia de género puede ser un factor explicativo del delito, los vínculos afectivos y el cuidado del otro pueden ser factores movilizadores hacia el delito y hacia el desistimiento del mismo. Los hallazgos sugieren que las mujeres han estado encarceladas desde antes de entrar a la prisión. Palabras clave ABSTRACTIn this qualitative study, 94 women who were or had been in prison were interviewed. Their life stories were analyzed in order to answer the question: why women commit crime and why they give up crime? From the analysis of the thematic content were found three main categories: gender violence, affective bonds and care. It was found that having suffered gender violence can be an explanatory factor of the crime, the affective bonds and the care of the other can be motivating factors towards the crime and towards the abandonment of the same. The findings suggest that women have been incarcerated since before entering prison.
Female criminal behavior has sparked the interest of many researchers who, from different perspectives, have tried to identify what are the factors that lead them to commit a crime. Studies indicate that female affective bonds change into a potentiator of crime behavior and/or withdrawal of it. The objective of this study was to find out if the couple’s bonds (previous or during the prison) were codependent, and to analyze the possible relation between the latter and female crime. This qualitative study used mixed tools in a sample of 27 women in the Bucaramanga prison (Colombia). The I-CO instrument was applied analyzing the four codependency factors: (1) denial mechanisms; (2) incomplete identity development; (3) emotional repression and (4) rescue orientation. The qualitative data obtained through the in-depth interview and focus groups were also analyzed, showing mainly three emerging categories: (1) I did it for him; (2) Although he doesn’t love me; and (3) I preferred to remain silent. The results suggested the difficulty of leaving violent relationships and the possible interaction between codependency, violent partner relationships and female crime. This research raises the need to strengthen the empowerment of women inside and outside the prison.
In recent decades there has been an increase of criminal behavior by women, which is due to social rather than individual change. Feminist analysis points to the existence of an androcentric and patriarchal order, which through the practices of subjectification, builds the identity of the subjects. These practices have been shaped by close affective bonds, including couple bounds, who in turn have constructed them as criminals. Ninety-four women were interviewed in six prisons in four countries. Their life stories were analyzed through Atlas.ti. Affective bonds with the partner and gender violence are the two main categories of analysis. It was found that the affective bonds with the partner that included violent behavior can be a factor leading these women towards crime. The findings suggest that the women were imprisoned, before entering prison, in violent relationships that held them, configuring their subjectivity. The violent partner bonds and female delinquency associated with them are the product of a patriarchal society that does not see a difference between being a victim or being criminal.
El VIH/SIDA no es solamente un problema de salud, sino también un problema social. Los primeros casos de VIH/SIDA en niños se describen en 1982 en Estados Unidos, y desde entonces el número de niños infectados y afectados continúa incrementándose, hasta convertirse en lo que en la actualidad se denota como una pandemia. Objetivo. Posibilitar un espacio para que los niños y niñas afectados por el VIH/SIDA, puedan expresar sus vivencias en torno al padecimiento propio y/o de sus padres. Metodología. Estudio de enfoque cualitativo con una orientación fenomenológica. Participaron 29 niños (68 %) y 13 niñas (32 %) de 4 a 17 años, quienes fueron visitados en sus entornos hogareños. Para evitar la revictimización se utilizaron estrategias lúdicas y juegos para conocer las voces ocultas de estos infantes. Resultados: los hallazgos se agruparon en tres categorías: 1. La orfandad, 2. Rechazo social, estigma y discriminación y 3. Servicios de Salud, donde en cada una se percibe la vivencia subjetiva de cada niño y niña entrevistado(a). Conclusiones: el estigma que ha revestido al VIH/SIDA dificulta considerablemente el desarrollo pleno de los niños y niñas, obstaculizando su libre expresión y crecimiento. Sus voces siguen estando ausentes en las políticas públicas, es por ello que este estudio resaltó las vivencias de los niños y niñas expresadas desde sus propias voces.
