Therefore, it s positive to state that Maria da Penha Law is inserted in the context of the penal populism phenomenon, characterized by usual governmental devices on creating symbolical laws focused on the optimum utilization of the punitive system in attempt to solve social problems. These recurrences, however, are fairly criticized because the criminal justice is facing an epistemological legitimacy crisis for failing to fulfill its promises of protecting legal goods and preventing criminal behavior. So, this essay was developed, based on critical criminology findings, in order to evaluate the repercussions of Maria da Penha Law punitiveness, as well as to ascertain whether its purposes are being accomplished. Also, the investigation was focused on the effects of criminal justice s intervention on women (victims) and men (offenders). To assess whether the Law s purposes are being met, as well as to explore its punitive effects, an empirical study was carried out in a domestic violence against women s Court in Recife (Northeast Brazil). Data collection was through participant and non-participant observation (ethnography) of trial hearings, as well as through the documentary analysis of sentenced criminal cases. It was found that both victims and offenders are most often black and belong to the lower classes. Moreover, our data suggests that offender imprisonment has increased, inasmuch as all cases involved petty misdemeanor and offenders were invariably sentenced to prison. Also, because domestic conflicts tend to involve family/affectional bonds, and women are usually keen to drop the case but are prevented by law from doing so, they end up revictimized in the criminal justice system. Moreover, conflict s property stealth by the penal system in order to guarantee penal prosecution ends up ignoring woman s wishes and silencing them. Therefore, towards domestic violence against women, penal system works perfectly in its most traditional ways: selects its clients and reproduces violence and pain. Thus, it was verified that, in general, criminal discourse is inappropriate to address domestic and familiar conflicts, since it ignores the conflict s origin, penalizes women victims and, symbolically and selectively, goes after a guilty party to impose a penalty. / Com a finalidade de criar mecanismos para coibir e prevenir a violência doméstica e familiar contra a mulher, o legislativo criou a Lei n.º 11.340/2006, popularmente conhecida como Lei Maria da Penha . A legislação surgiu no cenário jurídico nacional como resposta política às fortes demandas midiáticas e populacionais, por ações mais incisivas contra a criminalidade doméstica. Pode-se afirmar, assim, que a Lei Maria da Penha está inserida no contexto do fenômeno do populismo punitivo , marcado pela frequente recorrência governamental à criação de legislações simbólicas voltadas para a máxima utilização do sistema punitivo na tentativa de solucionar mazelas sociais. Tais recorrências, entretanto, são bastante criticadas porque o sistema penal enfrenta uma crise de legitimidade epistemológica por não conseguir cumprir suas promessas de proteção de bens jurídicos e prevenção de condutas criminosas. Esta dissertação, portanto, se destinou a investigar, sob a égide dos estudos da criminologia crítica, os efeitos do incremento punitivo da Lei Maria da Penha , bem como se os propósitos declarados da legislação vêm se cumprindo, através da averiguação do funcionamento do sistema de justiça criminal quando do enfrentamento da violência doméstica e familiar contra a mulher, especialmente por meio da investigação do trato que confere às pessoas envolvidas nesse conflito, a saber, mulher (vítima) e homem (acusado). Para a concretização desse objetivo, foi realizada uma pesquisa empírica em uma Vara de Violência Doméstica e Familiar contra a Mulher do Recife - VVDFMR, na qual se utilizaram, enquanto métodos complementares, a observação etnográfica e a pesquisa documental. A coleta de dados se deu ao longo do ano de 2014 e envolveu a imersão da pesquisadora no cotidiano da VVDFMR, especialmente nas audiências nela realizadas, bem como a análise de processos criminais sentenciados ao longo de um ano na Vara. Os resultados obtidos apontaram para o fato de que os homens e mulheres envolvidos nos conflitos doméstico e familiar que chegam à VVDFMR são predominantemente pardos e pertencem a classes sociais menos abastadas. Ademais, as taxas de encarceramento de agressores aumentou consideravelmente, apesar de as condenações devidas à prática de infrações penais de menor potencial ofensivo. Outrossim, como se trata de uma relação familiar em que homem e mulher partilham sentimentos de afeto, as mulheres normalmente não desejam a intervenção penal em seus conflitos. Ademais, Estado penal rouba o conflito dessas mulheres, de modo que são instrumentalizadas em função da prioridade da persecução penal dos seus agressores e, assim, os seus anseios são olvidados e as suas falas silenciadas. Logo, o sistema penal no âmbito da violência doméstica de gênero, atua na sua forma mais tradicional: selecionando a sua clientela e reproduzindo violência e dor. Como regra, pois, o discurso penal é inapropriado para o enfrentamento problemas domésticos e familiares, porque ignora as origens do conflito, penaliza, com suposto discurso de proteção, as mulheres vítimas e, simbólica e seletivamente, vai atrás de um culpado impondo-lhe uma pena.

Intrafamily violence is understood to mean any act or omission that impairs the physical and psychological integrity and the full development of a family member. Experiencing violence in the family context results in several consequences for adolescents, among them, the early experience of violent dating. Violence in teen dating refers to physical, sexual, psychological (emotional/verbal), digital, harassment, and financial violence in a loving relationship. Such phenomenon is still considered a predictor of conjugal violence. In this context, the general objective of the present study was to understand how the adolescent with a history of intrafamily violence builds his/her relationships. This is a qualitative research of an exploratory nature. Four adolescents participated in this multiple case study: three girls and one boy, between 15 and 18 years old, who were or are victims of intrafamily violence, and that they are dating or had dated, regardless of the duration of the relationship. The present investigation was carried out in two cities of the metropolitan region of Recife / PE. The sampling technique used was the snowball and the instrument for data collection was a semi-structured interview. The interviews were recorded, transcribed and subsequently submitted to content thematic analysis. In the results, it was verified among teenagers participants indicative elements of the intergenerational transmission of violence. The family relationships found in this research fail to provide a healthy affective relationship because of the physical and psychological suffering to which its members were and in some cases still are exposed. Suffering psychological violence from parents and/or caregivers through humiliation and offense was observed as the most difficult events to which adolescents were exposed. However, as a positive point, a nonlinear and non-deterministic relation of the phenomenon was evidenced; two-way violence between participants was not identified. Given the complexity of the topic, it is fundamental to carry out research that deepens the understanding of the relationship between the experience of intrafamily violence and the presence of violence in the dating experience among adolescents. / Episódios que envolvem a violência intrafamiliar têm sido amplamente divulgados nos meios de comunicação, além de ser uma temática frequente nos meios acadêmicos. Entende-se por violência intrafamiliar qualquer ato ou omissão que prejudique a integridade física e psicológica e o pleno desenvolvimento de um membro da família. Vivenciar a violência no contexto familiar resulta em várias consequências para os adolescentes, entre elas, a vivência precoce de namoros violentos. A violência no namoro entre adolescentes refere-se à violência física, sexual, psicológica (emocional/verbal), digital, perseguição e financeira em um relacionamento amoroso. Tal fenômeno é ainda considerado preditor de violência conjugal. Neste contexto, o objetivo geral do presente estudo foi o de compreender como o adolescente com histórico de violência intrafamiliar constrói suas relações amorosas. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de natureza qualitativa de caráter exploratório. Participaram deste estudo de caso múltiplo quatro adolescentes: três moças e um rapaz, entre 15 e 18 anos, que foram ou são vítimas de violência intrafamiliar, e que tenham namorado ou ficado, independentemente do tempo de duração da relação. A presente investigação foi realizada em duas cidades da região metropolitana do Recife/PE. A técnica de amostragem utilizada foi a da bola de neve e o instrumento para coleta de dados foi uma entrevista semiestruturada. As entrevistas foram gravadas, transcritas e, posteriormente, submetidas à análise temática de conteúdo. Nos resultados, verificou-se, entre os adolescentes participantes elementos indicativos da transmissão intergeracional da violência. As relações familiares encontradas nesta pesquisa falham como provedoras de uma relação afetiva saudável, em virtude do sofrimento físico e psíquico a que seus membros foram e, em alguns casos, ainda são expostos. Sofrer violência psicológica dos pais e/ou dos cuidadores por meio de humilhações e ofensas foi observado como sendo os eventos mais difíceis a que os adolescentes foram expostos. No entanto, evidenciou-se, como ponto positivo, uma relação não linear e não determinista do fenômeno; não foi identificada a violência bidirecional entre os participantes. Diante da complexidade do tema, torna-se fundamental a realização de pesquisas que aprofundem a compreensão da relação entre a vivência da violência intrafamiliar e a presença da violência no namoro entre adolescentes.

The purpose of the study was to develop a better understanding of the barriers faced by Latinas when confronted with domestic violence.

This study was designed to differentiate the significant demographic and familial factors found in families when reunification is successful versus when reunification fails in cases of child removal due to physical abuse and domestic violence. The purpose of this study was to identify which, if any of these factors, lead to successful reunification. Content analysis of adjudicated cases of child abuse in San Bernardino County was used to transform qualitative information into quantitative data.

The purpose of the study is to discover whether exposure to domestic violence leads to higher rates of special education placement. The problem of concern is the effect of domestic violence exposure to children, which results in psychological and behavioral problems that may lead to school difficulties and placement in special education programs.

This project focuses on the impact of family preservation programs on family functioning through a qualitative follow up study of the Child Abuse Prevention Intervention and Treatment (CAPIT) program at Pacific Clinics in Yucca Valley, California. The results found that family functioning (particularly in areas of interpersonal skills and communication) had improved since completion of the program. Improvement was correlated with the service content of the program and with counselor characteristics. Due to limitations, including sample size (n=9), results cannot be generalized.

Although male perpetration of violence against female partners is a global concern, there continues to be insufficient research attention on this phenomenon. The current study aimed at exploring experiences of male perpetrators of violence against their female partners in intimate relationships. The specific objectives were to get an understanding of the reasons and beliefs contributing towards perpetration of domestic violence, explore the barriers that perpetrators encounter with regard to receiving reformative support, and to suggest possible strategies that can be adopted to reduce or prevent domestic violence. Adopting a qualitative approach, data were obtained through in-depth interviews and participant observations involving 22 convicted male perpetrators in the Nsawam Prisons in the Eastern Region of Ghana, followed by interviews with stakeholders at the offices of the Domestic Violence & Victim Support Unit (DOVVSU) of the Ghana Police Service. The Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) was used to analyse the data. Each transcript went through a thorough analysis to extract themes which were subsequently Synchronised. Overall, the findings from the present study elucidated some theoretical and practical implications. It reveals the following major themes: perception of inequality between sexes, bride price, childhood experience/witness of abuse, and victim blaming as contributory factors to the phenomenon of male violence against women. / Psychology / D.

Med ett diskursteoretiskt förhållningssätt ämnar den här studien att studera hur kvinnors våld mot män framställs diskursivt i svensk press. Mer specifikt kommer besvara följande frågor att besvaras: “Hur framställs kvinnors våld mot män?”, “Hur framställs män som blivit utsatta för våld av en kvinnlig partner?” och “Hur framställs kvinnor som utövar våld mot en manlig partner?”. För att besvara dessa frågor har trettiofem artiklar från svensk press under åren 2015 till 2020 analyserats med hjälp av en foucauldiansk diskursanalys. Analysens fokus ligger på val av formulering och hur kvinnors våld mot män framställs. Utifrån analysen framträdde tre diskurser: “Det avvikande våldet”, “Det otillåtna offerskapet” samt ”Den sjuka kvinnan”. “Det avvikande våldet” visar att kvinnors våld mot män ses som något ovanligt. “Det otillåtna offerskapet” skapas genom att männen som utsätts för våld inte vill ses som offer, liksom att omgivningen har svårt att se dem som det. “Den sjuka kvinnan” visar att kvinnan som utövar våldet ofta framställs som sjuk. / This study aims to study women’s violence against men with a discourses theoretic approach. More specifically the following questions will be answered: “How is women’s violence against men portrayed?”, “How are men who are subjected to violence by a female partner portrayed?” and “How are women who use violence against a male partner portrayed?”. To answer these questions, thirty-five articles from Swedish media, from 2015 to 2020, was analyzed with a discourse theoretic approach. The focus in the analysis was choice of formulation and how women's violence against men was portrayed. Three discourses emerged: “The deviant violence”, “The illegitimate victimization” and “The sick woman”. “The deviant violence” shows that women’s violence against men is seen as something unusual. “The illegitimate victimization” is created when the man who is subjected to violence does not want to be seen as a victim, as well as the surroundings having a hard time seeing him as such.  “The sick woman” shows a woman who uses violence because she is ill.
