NATO glossary of terms and definitions: proposta de tradução para português

No presente relatório, aborda-se primordialmente uma proposta da tradução para a língua portuguesa de um dos principais glossários militares da Organização do Tratado do Atlântico Norte. Apresentam-se ainda exemplos de traduções realizadas ao longo de 400 horas de estágio no Ministério dos Negócios Estrangeiros português, com o objetivo de dar a entender a complexidade e as restrições envolvidas na tradução no contexto de uma instituição governamental. A proposta de tradução do referido glossário visa a futura validação e reforço da língua portuguesa como uma das línguas de trabalho da NATO, tendo sido Portugal membro fundador desta organização em 1949.

O fenómeno da criminalidade itinerante

In an increasingly globalized society, the crime appears as a reality that crosses borders. Globalization has potentiated the emergence of new forms of crime, which have been the subject of more interventional, particularly in terms of political, judicial and police authorities as well as civil society approaches. The media allow rapid expansion of criminal methodologies, which aggregate to the ease of movement of itinerant criminal groups, increases the opportunities for the continuation of the practice of criminal offenses, threatening, increasingly, the tranquility and safety of populations. Criminal organizations are characterized by their complexity, thus contributing to the difficulty in combat, by police and judicial authorities, forcing rapid adaptation to new political and criminal reality, particularly at the level of institutional cooperation, national and international, as exemplified by the creation of the "European Area of Freedom, Security and Justice" and new agencies in the field of police cooperation. It was intended with this paper to answer the central question: Is it possible to define a concept of Itinerant Crime in the European regulatory framework (Police and Judiciary)? To fulfill this aim, we performed the characterization of the concept of itinerant crime including itinerant criminal group, we analyzed the work that is being done by the authorities, police and judiciary, in order to contain the phenomenon. Finally, we studied type of existing cooperation at European level between the Member States and the authorities with responsibilities in this area. At the end, we conclude that efforts are being made towards the enhancement of operational, police and judicial cooperation, between the competent authorities of the European Union by combating this phenomenon. Define, and also proposed, a unique concept of Itinerant Crime, in order to be included in the legal standards, in order to facilitate research, in particular to better fit the itinerant crime and assist the prosecution of offenders.
