Objetivo: determinar los factores asociados a los delitos violentos en hombres y mujeres internos en establecimientos penitenciarios a nivel nacional. Metodología: se realizó un análisis secundario del Censo Nacional de la Población Penitenciaria 2016. Para el análisis bivariado se aplicó la prueba de Chi-cuadrado. Resultados: el 64.6% de los varones y el 94.6% de las mujeres cometieron robo/robo agravado, mientras que el 35.4% y el 5.4% restante de hombres y mujeres, respectivamente, ingresaron por delitos sexuales. Las principales variables asociadas a los delitos violentos en varones fueron: encontrarse en la adultez temprana (p=0.000), ser soltero (p=0.000), no haber usado armas (p=0.000), no haber estado en un centro juvenil (p=0.000), no haber consumido drogas horas previas al delito (p=0.010) y haber consumido alcohol (p=0.000). Por otro lado, para las mujeres las variables asociadas fueron: encontrarse en la adolescencia o adultez temprana (p=0.000), considerar que fue discriminada por tener antecedentes penales (p=0.020) y no haber usado un arma durante la comisión del delito (p=0.000). Conclusiones: son numerosos los factores asociados al delito violento para el sexo masculino. Dentro de ellos, el consumo de alcohol constituye un importante factor asociado que se sitúa como predictor del comportamiento agresivo. Se debe profundizar en otros factores psicológicos a fin de abordar el fenómeno considerando su multicausalidad Palabras clave: Delitos sexuales; Robo; Consumo de bebidas alcohólicas; Armas de fuego; Perú (Fuente: DeCS).
Objective: to determine the factors associated with violent crimes in men and women in prisons at a national level. Materials and methods: a secondary analysis of the 2016 National Penitentiary Population Census was carried out. For the bivariate analysis, the Chi-square test was applied. Results: 64.6% of men and 94.6% of women committed aggravated robbery, while the remaining 35.4% and 5.4% of men and women, respectively, were admitted for sexual crimes. The main variables associated with violent crimes in males were: being in early adulthood (p=0.000), being single (p=0.000), not having used weapons (p=0.000), not having been in a youth center (p=0.000), not having consumed drugs hours prior to the crime (p=0.010) and having consumed alcohol (p=0.000). On the other hand, for women, the associated variables were: being in adolescence or early adulthood (p=0.000), considering that she was discriminated against due to have a criminal record (p=0.020) and not having used a weapon during the commission of the crime (p=0.000). Conclusions: there are many factors associated with violent crime for men. Among them, alcohol consumption is an important associated factor that is a predictor of aggressive behavior. Other psychological factors should be studied in depth in order to approach the phenomenon considering its multicausality.
