Abstract

The present work aimed to investigate the propensity towards criminal homicide using a broad approach, encompassing theories based on socioeconomic frustration, decision-making processes, emotional attachment, testosterone, moral development, moral values, and the culture of honor. A total of 160 adult Brazilian men completed a questionnaire, various psychological tests, and right-hand digit ratio measurements. The findings discarded all theories tested, except the culture of honor. It is concluded that, in the region, public policies for the reduction of the rate of homicides must be specific to that crime and address cultural issues regarding honor and moral satisfaction.

荣誉文化是伯南布哥州高犯罪率的最佳解释:对160名罪犯和非罪犯的比较研究
本研究旨在运用广泛的方法来研究犯罪杀人倾向,包括基于社会经济挫折、决策过程、情感依恋、睾丸激素、道德发展、道德价值观和荣誉文化的理论。共有160名巴西成年男性完成了问卷调查、各种心理测试和右手手指比例测量。这些发现推翻了所有被测试的理论,除了荣誉文化。结论是,在该地区,减少杀人率的公共政策必须针对这种犯罪,并解决有关荣誉和道德满足的文化问题。
