“…Broidy and Agnew's (1997) review of prior literature yields similar conclusions, suggesting that females tend to experience as much or more objective and subjective strain across a range of studies using a range of different strain measures. Similar conclusions characterize the second of the above two notions concerning male and female levels of negative emotion, with the overwhelming majority of studies suggesting that females experience as much or more anger and depression than do males (Broidy and Agnew 1997;Jennings et al 2009;Piquero and Sealock 2004;Van Gundy 2002).…”

Research finds males to have a higher likelihood of offending than females. Dominant explanations of the gender/crime relationship tend to invoke strain, learning, and control theories, but we propose that part of the relationship is attributable to differences in anticipated shaming. We test this argument using data collected from a sample of 439 young adults. Results of both Tobit regressions and path analyses support our hypothesis, suggesting that anticipated shaming may actually mediate more of the gender/crime relationship than do variables derived from alternative perspectives. Implications for understanding and controlling crime are discussed.Gender is among the most reliable correlates of criminal behavior. With few exceptions, including prostitution (FBI 2010) and partner violence (Rebellon and Straus 2004; Straus 2010), males are disproportionately represented among offenders Tracy et al. 2009). The relationship between gender and crime appears to exist across all major sources of criminological data including official, victimization, and self-report data (Lo and Zhong 2006;Steffensmeier et al. 2005), but seems particularly strong for severe forms of violence like homicide (Batton 2004). While some theorists (Adler 1975) have suggested that the discrepancy between male and female crime is decreasing over time in modern society as traditional gender roles become less salient, recent work suggests that gender differences remain robust in self-report and victimization data, narrowing primarily among official data (Schwartz and Rookey 2008;Steffensmeier et al. 2005;

“…Do mesmo modo, vários estudos apontam para diferenças significativas nas taxas de delinquência segundo o género (e.g. Fagan & Wright, 2012;Jennings, Piquero, Gover & Pérez, 2009;Neumann, Barker, Koot & Maughan, 2010;Snyder et al, 2008). Um estudo realizado em 24 países da Europa (Thijs, van Dijk, Stoof & Notten, 2015) indica que os rapazes são os que mais se envolvem em comportamentos disruptivos e delinquentes, referindo, no entanto, que estas diferenças de género variam de país para país em função dos níveis sociais de desigualdade de género.…”

A perpetração dos comportamentos antissociais em jovens cabo-verdianos: um estudo preditivoResumo. Em Cabo-Verde, desde finais dos anos 90 tem-se assistido a um aumento crescente dos comportamentos antissociais cometidos por jovens com idades compreendidas entre os 12 e os 21 anos. Todavia, o conhecimento acerca dos fatores que estão na génese e manutenção de tais comportamentos revela-se, ainda, incipiente. Neste estudo procurou-se identificar os fatores que predizem comportamentos antissociais auto relatados, recorrendo-se, para o efeito, ao International Self-Report Delinquency Study (ISRD-3). A amostra foi constituída por 535 alunos de ambos os sexos a frequentar o ensino público secundário em Cabo Verde, sendo 284 (53%) do sexo feminino e 247 (46.25%) do sexo masculino. A idade dos jovens varia entre os 13 e os 21 anos, tendo uma média de idade de 16.66 e um desvio padrão de 2.04. Os resultados indicam que o sexo é um forte preditor da perpetração de comportamentos antissociais, sendo que indivíduos do sexo masculino revelam maior probabilidade de envolvimento em comportamentos antissociais. Os adolescentes com menos atitudes antissociais são também aqueles com menor probabilidade de se envolverem em comportamentos antisociais. Da mesma forma, e ainda que apenas se revele marginalmente significativa, os adolescentes que relatam maior envolvimento em atividades antissociais evidenciam uma maior probabilidade de se envolverem em atividades de ocupação dos tempos livres disruptivas. Estes resultados são analisados em termos das suas implicações para a prevenção da delinquência. Palavras-chave. Delinquência juvenil, perpetradores, prevenção.Abstract. In Cape Verde, since the end of the 1990s years there has been a significant increase of antisocial behaviors committed by young people (aged 12 and 21). Nevertheless, knowledge of factors that lie at the origin and maintenance of such behaviors still reveals incident or are still at an early stage. In this study, we tried to identify possible risk factors that forecast antisocial behaviour, self-reported by using, for this purpose, the International Self-Report Delinquency Study (ISRD-3).The sample consisted of 535 students from both sexes attending public secondary education in Cape Verde, of which 284 (53%) were females and 247 (46.25%) males. The age of young people varies between 13 and 21 years, having an average age of 16.66 and a standard deviation of 2.04. The results indicate that sex is a strong predictor of perpetration of antisocial behaviors, given that males show greater probability of engaging in antisocial behaviors. Teenagers with less antisocial attitudes are also those with less probability to engage in antisocial behaviors. Likewise, and even if only reveals marginally significant, adolescents who report major involvement in antisocial activities highlights a greater probability to engage in disruptive hobby activities. These results are analyzed in terms of their implications for the prevention of delinquency.
