Resumen
Resumen
En Portugal, la violencia doméstica (VD) es actualmente uno de los principales tipos de criminalidad registrados por las fuerzas policiales y no es un fenómeno reciente. Según el Informe Anual de Seguridad Interior 2021, hubo un total de 26.520 denuncias de VD en 2021. Todos los servicios y profesionales de protección a las víctimas de este tipo de delitos (y otros), en los que se incluyen los policías, se caracterizan por la exposición sistemática a situaciones traumáticas. La violencia manifiesta o latente a la que suelen enfrentarse puede acarrear problemas a nivel de salud física y psicológica de los policías, convirtiéndolos en potenciales víctimas secundarias. Estas consecuencias se estudiaron en una investigación cualitativa de carácter exploratorio. Presentamos los resultados del análisis de contenido de 14 entrevistas semiestructuradas realizadas a policías de la Policía de Seguridad Pública portuguesa que trabajan sistemáticamente con víctimas de VD.
Palabras clave: violencia doméstica; policía; victimización secundaria; situaciones traumáticas.
