Resumo: What is appreciated by judges in a homicide process in Portugal still has a long investigative course to pursue in the field of psychology. This exploratory research aims to analyze differences in the extent of the penalty applied according to the elements identified in the judgments. It also seeks to know if there are any differences between decisions in the first and second instances. The following results are noted: judges tend to apply higher penalties when the victims gender is female; they sentencing offenders to higher penalties when they use the right to remain silence, consubstantiating these two factors, extralegal factors. It was also found that the measure of the penalty is less when the offender shown regret. It was verified that no variable related to the characteristics of the offender was statistically significant. The results are discussed, and the participation of extralegal factors in the judicial decision-making are highlighted.

A presente investigação de carácter exploratório objetiva analisar diferenças na medida da pena aplicada em função de elementos identificados nos acórdãos. Procura igualmente conhecer se existem diferenças decisórias entre a primeira e a segunda instâncias. Salientam-se os seguintes resultados: os juízes tendem a aplicar penas mais elevadas quando as vítimas são do sexo feminino; sentenciam os agentes a penas superiores quando estes se remetem ao silêncio, consubstanciando estes dois fatores, elementos extralegais. Constatou-se igualmente que a medida da pena é inferior quando o ofensor se diz arrependido. Verifica-se que nenhuma variável relativa às características do ofensor resultou estatisticamente significativa. Os resultados são discutidos, salientando-se a participação de fatores extralegais na decisão judicial.ISPA - Instituto Universitário2018-03-12info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.14417/ap.1336https://doi.org/10.14417/ap.1336Análise Psicológica; Vol 36, No 1 (2018); 15-29Análise Psicológica; Vol 36, No 1 (2018); 15-291646-60200870-8231reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttp://publicacoes.ispa.pt/index.php/ap/article/view/1336http://publicacoes.ispa.pt/index.php/ap/article/view/1336/pdfBotelho, MónicaGonçalves, Rui Abrunhosainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2023-05-11T10:19:58Zoai:ojs.localhost:article/1336Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T17:51:15.991565Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
