The present study aimed to evaluate, between Brazilian and Spanish participants, the stereotypes of criminals and human rights de-fenders, and the extent to which this assessment is affected by the type of crime and the implicit theories adopted to explain criminal behavior. Even though the results indicated differences in the attribution of stereotypes to criminals and human rights defenders, it was not possible to identify any effect on the expression of stereotypes from the type of crime or the im-plicit theories. Although a certain homogeneity in the stereotypes of crimi-nals can be demonstrated, in the case of human rights defenders the stereo-typical representation is more complex and contradictory.
