Resumo: It is in common knowledge that pick-pocketing is a type of crime encountered in urban environments. Based on previously identified environmental and psychosocial factor of spatial representations of security/insecurity, the current research aimed at exploring environmental factos that could affect people’s evaluations, as regards the risk of being pick-pocketed. With this purpose, two sites in Lisbon differing mainly in their physical and social environmental features were cnsidered. Results show that strong social bonds within a place may appear very importante for evaluation of pick-pocketing risk, putting aside and making less importante physical layout, whereas in socially heterogeneous places, where social bonds are weaker, physical environment becomes consequently more important for perceptions of safety.

DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17575/rpsicol.v21i2.368É do conhecimento comum que o furto por carteirista é um tipo de crime que se encontra em ambiente urbano. Baseada em factores ambientais e psicossociais de representações espaciais de segurança/insegurança, previamente identificados, e presente investigação pretendeu explorar como este tipo de factores podem afectar as avaliações das pessoas, no que se refere ao risco de serem assaltadas por carteirista. Neste sentido, foram considerados dois locais em Lisboa, diferindo principalmente nas suas características ambientais, físicas e sociais. Os resultados mostram que fortes ligações sociais num local podem revelar-se muito importantes para a avaliação do risco de furto por carteirista, afastando e tornando menos importante as características ambientais físicas, enquanto que, nos locais de maior heterogeneidade social, onde as ligações sociais são fracas, o ambiente físico torna-se consequentemente mais importante para as percepções de segurança.
