Abstract

ABSTRACT: The main goal of this study was to identify and investigate the social representations of elderly people over urban violence. 30 elderlies took part, with ages ranging between 60 and 83 years old, (m = 69,8; dp = 6,1), most of whom (70%) were of the female gender, who responded to an in-depth interview. Data was processed by the ALCESTE software. Outcomes pointed out that urban violence has been anchored to three main dimensions: criminality, institutional services and to political aspects.
