A tutela penal e o enfrentamento da violência contra a mulher

Abstract

This work, linked to the Law and Social Vulnerability research line, has as its central theme the fight against violence against women and seeks to assess the extent to which criminal protection can contribute to the fight against violence against women in Brazil. Violence against women and the numbers of this violence show us that the challenges are as great as the achievements, and that the criminalization of conduct, or worsening of sentences, or the creation of qualifiers, can give women greater protection against violence. The research seeks to study the possibility of contributing criminal protection as a mechanism to curb violence against women in Brazil. Develop the concept of this violence, present the historical process of legal-normative construction of the criminal protection of violence against women in Brazil, display the contemporary legal-normative panorama of criminal protection in the country and evaluate the potential of criminal protection to confront violence against women in the national context. For this purpose, the hypothetical-deductive approach method was used, through the construction of a conjecture (hypothesis) that will be submitted to a discussion. The techniques used were bibliographic and documentary, with emphasis on doctrinal, legislative and jurisprudential research.
