O serviço fiscal aduaneiro criminal e contraordenacional da GNR

At a time of global economic instability, to which Portugal is not oblivious, and aware that the main source of Portuguese State revenue relies on the collection of tribute, the National Republican Guard holds within its mission relevant assignments to the protection of the financial interests of the country, in particular, fiscal and customs. These assignments were inherited from the century - old institution Guarda Fiscal - with evidence given in this domain, which was integrated into the National Republican Guard in 1993, to adopt, a 1St model, that held a specialized unit – Brigada Fiscal, with surveillance and patrolling missions of costa and fiscal and customs supervision, throughout the national territory and maritime zone of respect. In 2009, the result of political decisions, reorganization the State's central administration, appears de 2Nd model, because the Brigada Fiscal assignments were divided by two specialized units - UAF with investigation skills, and UCC for patrolling and surveillance of the coast. Analyzed the legal spectrum of special legislation leading the criminal and transgression sector punitive (RGIT), in essence, is in the UAF that resides the role assignments from the scope of the investigation and supervision of goods in the national territory on a par with the tax authority. Tax inspection assignments, fiscal and customs of the National Republican Guard, are unmatched in the National Tribute System, constituting itself as a potentiality of this special body, in similarity of their counterparts - Spain and Italy; however, have some constraints, that urge to clarify and repair. Foreseeing the future, face the announced news of a new restructuring, on behalf of the interests of the country, and in order to raise the quality of performance of the tax inspection, fiscal and customs, the National Republican Guard shall maintain a model based on the experience already accumulated, obviously adapted to the new demands of a changing society. Despite the current model gain in efficiency, loses in effectiveness. However, the efficiency of a model, without the necessary resources, can never bring “the letter to Garcia” against any kind of infringements, criminal or transgressions. Unless better opinion, both tax structures of the National Republican Guard are valid as an instrument for the prevention and combat of these illegal types. Because they are strategic in pursuing the public interest, given the scarce resources of the country and be the National Republican Guard, the force with the means and know-how of this nature. The political power has the final word.

Versão portuguesa das “Escalas de Táticas de Conflito Revisadas”: estudo de validação

As escalas de Táticas de Conflito Revisadas (CTS2) destinam-se a avaliar o modo como os casais resolvem os seus conflitos, através de estratégias de negociação ou de abuso: (a) abuso físico sem sequelas; (b) agressão psicológica; (c) abuso físico com sequelas; (d) coerção sexual. A versão portuguesa foi administrada a uma amostra de 551 estudantes universitários (332 do sexo feminino), 45 dos quais têm uma relação íntima entre si. Considera os cinco factores propostos pelos autores das escalas originais e apresenta valores de consistência interna compreendidos entre .78 e .50. As correlações entre os diferentes tipos de abuso e a desejabilidade social, história de socialização violenta, crime violento, domínio na relação, e ainda a concordância nos heterorrelatos de ambos elementos da díade, testemunham a validade das escalas. Investigadores e técnicos da psicologia e áreas afins têm agora à sua disposição a versão portuguesa das CTS2, que tem demonstrado elevada aplicabilidade na determinação da presença de relações abusivas no seio da família, na avaliação da eficácia de programas de intervenção no contexto forense e em estudos de cariz epidemiológico.
