ALMEIDA, Vanessa Ponstinnicoff de. Repercussions of the violence in the feminine identity construction of the arrested woman: a case study. Psicol. cienc. prof. [online]. 2006, vol.26, n.4, pp. 604-619. ISSN 1414-9893.

The objective of the present paper is the identification of the influence that violence circles exercise in the arrested woman's identity formation. Besides the psychological implications, it was supposed that there was a relation between the violent standard and the crime practice. After identifying the theory reference, three recording half-directed interviews with an arrested woman who accomplishes penalty on the half-open police system in a São Paulo state prison were realized and then transcribed. The collected material was analyzed qualitatively, what made easier to come to inconclusive comprehension of the reasons that led the collaborator to get into the criminal way, and also that indicated the solutions to her difficulties. This paper aimed at the comprehension of the construction of her identity and the way the aggression circle could have influenced her choices and attitudes.During the narrative, the collaborator highlighted the violence in several moments of her life: at home, in her social relations, with her partner and in prison, and she also reflected about these historical repercussions. In this case, it was verified that the lack of resources and opportunities of work, the domestic violence, the drugs, criminality and a three-year-old son are only fragments of her identity formation.Besides it was perceived that listening to other people's relates of life gives way to our own attitudes' revision and it helps to eliminate prejudice, because it permits other people's approximation as a possibility of infinite construction. Finally, it was proposed the elaboration of subsequent studies, which could make possible the elaboration of projects with ex-prisoners as well as the creation of psychologist intervention programs in the prison system.
