O navio de Teseu: condicionamentos e determinantes da vitimização na área central de Manaus (AM)

Abstract

The present study aims to establish the determinants and conditioning of Victimization in the Central Area of Manaus (AM), in a population sample of urban workers. For this, a questionnaire on Victimization, a survey model, was applied in a sample of 618 individual microentrepreneurs housed in four commercial galleries, distributed in the Central Area of Manaus (AM). When referring to "Determinants" of Victimization, we read that criminal practices occurring in the daily work of the sample studied, their contextual, social and territorial condition, will observe the characteristics present in the growth of criminal violence. And when we report on the "Conditioners" of Victimization, we seek to understand crime as a measure of interpersonal relations stimulated by strategies of distrust, rejection and acceptance by urban roads, especially for those who depend directly on the routine established in urban integration spaces, such as of the workers of the Central Areas of the cities that shelter in their territory the main lines of circulation of goods, merchandise and economic values. For this, the research considered the crime committed by social stimuli that favor the formation of deviant conditions, hence victimization suffer strong influence of structural elements of the city influence the explanation of crime, once the urban landscape communicates with the individuals present, establishes relational lines where the message given is of belonging or distance, and may or may not harbor crime as a measure of social integration, in which victims and offenders establish social routines in social spaces.
