Análisis de factores psicológicos y socioculturales de agresores de género en América Latina

Abstract

One of the largest and most worrying problems in Latin America is gender-based violence, which is rooted in patriarchal structures, historical inequalities, and psychological and sociocultural factors that influence gender-based agressors. Understanding these profiles is essential for forensic assessment, prevention, and the design of effective public policies. The objective of this study is to analyze the psychological and sociocultural profiles of gender-based aggressors in Latin America. To this end, a systematic review was conducted using the PRISMA methodology. Research was conducted in various databases such as Scopus, PubMed, and Scielo. After eliminating various single aggressor profile, but rather different typologies. Antisocial, narcissistic, and histrionic traits, low frustration tolerance, pathological jealousy, and deficits in executive functions were found. In the sociocultural context, it was observed that the elements that legitimize gender-based violence are patriarchal culture, gender roles, and machismo. This study focused on men aged 18 to 50 with low educational levels and a history of substance abuse. It is therefore concluded that gender-based offenders cannot be found in a homogeneous group within society. Their profiles combine individual and cultural factors. Finally, it is important to understand this diversity in order to develop prevention strategies or personalized intervention programs that reduce recidivism and strengthen victim protection.
