Feminicídio: uma análise do papel dos atores do Sistema de Justiça Criminal no acesso à justiça das vítimas a partir da perspectiva de gênero

Abstract

This dissertation aims to understand the role of the actors in the penal system on access to justice to victims (direct and indirect) of feminicide, from a gender perspective. The work discusses the main understandings of feminist theories about the gender category, entering into the criminalization of gender violence since feminist theories and criminology; in addition, it performs a theoretical analysis of the construction of the typification of feminicide and its subsequent reception by the actors of the Criminal Justice System, based on access to justice. Finally, it develops the document analysis which seeks to elucidate the broad dimension of the social right of access to justice of such serious violence, as well as point out concrete obstacles to an intended policy of gender equality. As a hypothesis, it is considered that due to the male predominance of the institutional field of the Criminal Justice System, stereotyped expectations are raised regarding the behavior of the victims, sometimes directing the instruction, processing and judgment of those victims who enter the judicial system (PORTELLA, 2014). Thus, the theme in question stems mainly from the need to keep in the academic sphere the debate of the characters that involve the most extreme form of expression of gender violence, contributing to the scientific production on the topic from a local analysis of the problem. The approach method used is inductive reasoning and it is a field research based on the analysis of police inquiries, criminal proceedings and judgments of the Grand Jury on feminicide in the city of Pelotas/RS, between the years 2015 to 2019. The techniques used are bibliographic and documentary, resulting in a qualitative and quantitative research (mixed methods).
