To this end, the following question was sought: what is the conception of human nature that underlies criminal law? Aiming to insert the law in life, the stories of Joel and Elias were initially presented and then their respective victims, Ana and Luna. In order to establish a bridge between these stories, the law and the theories left by Freud, psychoanalysis was used as theory and method. The conceptions of human nature, law, perversion and psychopathy were thus studied and, in this process, it was possible to find resonances between the cases and Freudian concepts. Furthermore: through an interpretive work, an understanding about the stories was constructed. It was thus understood that, although the laws on rape crimes retain a conception of human nature close to that formulated by Freud, in guiding by the assumption that human beings are aggressive and sexual, they miss important discoveries revealed By psychoanalysis, which relate to the cleavage of the Self, to refusal, to the stability of perversion, and to the peculiarities of the Super-Self. Because of these findings, it was concluded that psychoanalysis has much to contribute to the development of penal practices that are more beneficial to society / Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar, fundamentado na psicanálise de Freud, as leis que tratam dos crimes de estupro presentes no Código Penal, utilizando como ilustração dois processos já arquivados, cujos réus foram condenados por cometerem delitos sexuais. Com este objetivo, procurou-se responder a seguinte indagação: qual é a concepção de natureza humana que subjaz à legislação penal? Visando inserir a lei na vida, foram apresentadas, inicialmente, as histórias de Joel e Elias e de suas respectivas vítimas, Ana e Luna. A fim de estabelecer uma ponte entre estas histórias, a lei e as teorizações deixadas por Freud, empregou-se a psicanálise como teoria e método. Estudaram-se, assim, as concepções de natureza humana, Lei, perversão e psicopatia e, nesse processo, foi possível encontrar ressonâncias entre os casos e os conceitos freudianos. E, mais do que isto: por meio de um trabalho interpretativo, construiu-se um entendimento sobre as histórias. Compreendeu-se, desse modo, que, embora as leis sobre os crimes de estupro guardem uma concepção de natureza humana próxima à formulada por Freud, ao se orientar pelo pressuposto de que os seres humanos são agressivos e sexuais, escapam a elas descobertas importantes reveladas pela psicanálise, as quais se relacionam à clivagem do Eu, à recusa, à estabilidade da perversão e às peculiariaridades do Super-eu. Em razão destas constatações, concluiu-se que a psicanálise tem muito a contribuir para o desenvolvimento de práticas penais mais benéficas para a sociedade

Porém, entre as décadas de 1930 e 1960, enfrentou períodos de estagnação em sua economia, mas não deixou de trazer em sua identidade a marca de uma cidade operária. Nas inúmeras fábricas da cidade, grande parte do proletariado era constituída por mulheres. Assim, esta pesquisa traz uma análise sobre a inserção da mão-de-obra feminina no mercado de trabalho entre os anos de 1890 a 1954, sobretudo no que se refere aos jogos de poder que culminaram na máxima espoliação de sua força de trabalho e em crimes sexuais cometidos no interior de algumas fábricas da cidade. Para contar a história dessas mulheres, ainda esquecidas pelo discurso da historiografia tradicional, foram coletados diversos tipos de fontes como, processos trabalhistas, documentos sindicais, jornais, processos criminais, os códigos penais de 1890 e de 1940, além de entrevistas concedidas por sete ex-operárias das fábricas da cidade. A análise desse arcabouço documental trouxe importantes vestígios sobre os tipos de exploração e violência a que estavam submetidas essas operárias, evidenciando que muitas dessas trabalhadoras não se colocavam dispostas ao silêncio. / Juiz de Fora came up in the beginning of twentieth century as a more important industrial center of the Minas Gerais state. However, between 1930 and 1960 decades it faced economic stagnation periods always bringing in its identity the city worker stain. In the abundant city factories, the majority workman was constituted by women. So, this research brings an analyse about the insertion the female manpower in the work market between 1890 and 1954 years, principally concerning about power games that ended in the maximum plundering in its work force and sexual crimes that happened in some Juiz de Fora factories. To tell the story about these women, yet forgotten by the traditional historiography speech, several resources were colected like workers processes, sindical documents, papers, criminal processes, the 1890 and 1940 law codes and interviews with seven ex-workers in some of these Juiz de Fora factories. The documental analyse has brought some important traces about the kind of exploration and violence carried out against these female workers, showing that a lot of them didn’t stop talking and didn’t want to take over the silence behaviour.

Despite the growing prevalence and awareness of child sex trafficking within the South African context, knowledge of the trade remains rudimentary. In this study, an exploration of how girl survivors of child sex trafficking within South Africa construct their experiences is provided. Participants included five girl children between the ages of 11 and 17, all of whom had been trafficked for the purpose of sexual exploitation, and managed to escape the trade. All of them were living in a safe house in Pretoria at the time of the interviews. One participant was trafficked into South Africa from Zimbabwe, one from the DRC, one from Lesotho, and two participants were trafficked within South African borders. An ecosystemic framework was suggested to create meaning of the findings, placing emphasis on how participants construct their experiences in terms of the ecological context. Research results reveal a significant difference in the ability of participants to overcome their experiences based on whether they had at least one supportive person from their ecological context before being trafficked. The findings of this study call for interventions to extend beyond the legislative arena. Rather, the legislative arena is seen as one aspect of the entire ecological context of girl children who are vulnerable to human trafficking. This sounds a call for interventions against human trafficking to take a more holistic view and to punctuate at the level of the family system and of the community. / Psychology / M.A. (Clinical Psychology)

Recent research has highlighted the potential benefits of implementing criminal profiling in police investigations, to improve the efficacy of the identification of suspects. Due to the continuous increase in digital sexual offenses law enforcements are experiencing overwhelming amounts of cybercrime, necessitating a re-evaluation of investigative methods and resources. This thesis explores my preconception, that profiling of online offenders can strengthen and improve investigative methods, as well as potentially aid preventative methods, when dealing with cybercrime against children. Through two semi-structured expert interviews and research literature, this thesis aims to explore if the implementation of criminal profiling can increase efficacy in police investigative methods. The results indicate that the Trinity-approach to profiling enablesinvestigators to categorise the characteristics and patterns of offenders and victims, allowing for more effective and targeted strategies against online offenders. This ultimately enables law enforcement to better address cybercrime against children and to protect this vulnerable population. The thesis also acknowledges methodological limitations, due to a small sample size of interviews. This is, however, justified with the use of an in-depth case study method, emphasising the focus of gaining deeper insights, while also establishingthe validity of the results due to the hermeneutic approach.

Text in Afrikaans / In this dissertation the legal position with regard to children as victims of sexual crimes is examined in South Africa, England, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Sexual crimes with children are a serious and widespread international problem. The purpose of this study is to identify deficiencies / gaps in the South African law. Children are not only the victims of the sexual crimes, but they are exposed to further trauma whilst giving evidence. Their best interests are also often not taken into proper consideration during the sentencing phase. In is in the interest of justice that children=s interests must be taken into account the whole time. In terms of international conventions and charters State parties are required to protect children against all forms of discrimination, violence, abuse and exploitation. Children may not be exposed to any sexual crimes, because these activities violate their right to bodily (and psychological) integrity, human dignity and privacy. In order to acknowledge the importance of children=s best interest, priority must be given to all cases in which children are the victims and their unique characteristics, age and development must be taken into consideration. This will ensure that they are not further victimized during the trial. Deficiencies in the Criminal Law are addressed by proposing new definitions, for instance for rape and incest. Shortcomings in the Procedural Law are identified and recommendations are made especially with regard to the alternative measures by which children can testify. Guidelines are also suggested for admissible cross-examination. New sentencing options are recommended and possible aggravating circumstances which ought to play a role during the consideration of a suitable and just sentence for sexual crimes with children are suggested. / Criminal & Procedural Law / LL.D.

The present paper turns around the interpretation of the mentioned transformation, specially focusing on the rape against vulnerable people, innovative penal type that since its advent, cause intense debate in Brazilian doctrine and jurisprudence. The task of interpreting the content of the crime in question only becomes possible because of the constitutional reading, being the penal constitutional principles and criminalization warrants, important tools of which the studious people and Penal Right operators have / O contexto dos crimes sexuais recebeu importantes alterações por parte do legislador pátrio, que as materializou por intermédio da Lei 12.015/2009. O presente trabalho se volta à interpretação das mencionadas transformações, tendo como foco principal o crime de estupro contra vulnerável, tipo penal inovador que desde o seu advento provocou intenso debate na doutrina e jurisprudência pátrias. A tarefa de interpretar o conteúdo do delito em questão somente se torna possível por meio de sua leitura constitucional, sendo os princípios constitucionais penais e os mandados de criminalização importantes ferramentas das quais dispõem os estudiosos e operadores do Direito Penal

As pesquisas no Brasil e no mundo constatam que o abuso sexual perpetrado por pais contra filhas é uma prática que ultrapassa os limites das fronteiras geográficas ou culturais. Nossa pesquisa teve por objetivo compreender, através de um estudo de caso, a geração, manutenção e transmissão dos elementos que perpetuam a violência intrafamiliar, no que concerne ao incesto abusivo pai-filha. Chegamos ao sujeito de nossa pesquisa por intermédio de profissionais que atuam junto a uma ONG, sem contudo ter existido, durante o período em que se desenvolveu a pesquisa, qualquer vínculo pessoal ou institucional desses profissionais com a família contatada. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, desenvolvida com base em cenários de família nuclear, numa perspectiva transgeracional, a partir da análise de conteúdo do material fornecido pela protagonista-relatora. Nesse sentido, o instrumento utilizado foi a entrevista não-diretiva. Nosso estudo constatou que em meio à teia perversa que caracteriza as relações interpessoais na violência intrafamiliar, o abuso sexual incestuoso se sobressai como a face mais dura desse universo e reafirma o seu estatuto de expoente máximo enquanto fator patológico na dinâmica desse conjunto de sujeitos - hoje denominado família abusiva - comprometendo o psiquismo individual e grupal de seus membros. A partir de pressupostos teóricos da psicanálise, buscamos compreender o intercâmbio que se estabelece entre experiência subjetiva e realidade objetiva no psiquismo do agressor, a atitude responsiva de sua vítima, a contribuição do entorno familiar e o papel da cultura na perpetuação do fenômeno. Verificamos, portanto, tratar-se de um amálgama formado por elementos da filogênese, da ontogênese e da cultura. Por isso mesmo o complexo de Édipo apareceu como o ponto nodal em torno do qual gravita toda a dinâmica do abuso incestuoso pai-filha que se configurou como a forma mais cruel do filicídio simbólico. O abuso sexual intrafamiliar, segundo nossa compreensão permitirá, a curto prazo uma intervenção efetiva em termos do código cultural apenas pelo lado da vítima e de sua família, uma vez que do outro lado, isto é, do agressor, vamos encontrar, ainda que com enorme gradação, a psicopatologia, isto é, a indomesticação do desejo, o domínio dos impulsos, uma impermeabilidade à moral e à ética, enfim, a perversão. E, nesses casos, as intervenções vão do isolamento à castração química, passando pela psicoterapia sem que, entretanto, os resultados sejam animadores. Acreditamos que a formação da estrutura de caráter seja fruto do processo de aprendizagem, e este se traduz na conformação do sujeito à cultura, tendo como base os condicionantes sociais e psicobiológicos do comportamento. Por essa razão, entendemos que a educação é também um importante instrumento propulsor das mudanças paradigmáticas que necessitamos para pensar e trabalhar a família. Entretanto, ainda observamos aqui que, na qualidade de fator estruturante do psiquismo, a aplicabilidade da lei do Édipo às novas configurações familiares poderá ser objeto para o futuro aprofundamento deste tema, bem como para o estudo de outros temas inerentes à família / The researches in Brazil and around the world evidence that the sexual abuse perpetrated for fathers against their daughters is a practical which outstrips the limits of geographic or cultural borders. Our studies aimed to comprehend, through a cases analysis, the generation, maintenance and transmission of the elements that perpetuate the intrafamilial violence, concerning to abusive incest father-daughter. Utilizing the help of professionals who worked at an ONG however, without any personal or institutional bond of them with the contacted family we could find our researchs subject. Its a qualitative research, based on nuclear familys scenes, in a perspective of the generations transmission, from the analysis of the content supplied by the protagonist. In this way, it was utilized the not-directive interview. Our study evidenced that, between the perverse web which characterizes the relationships in intrafamilial violence, the incestuous sexual abuse is distinguished like this universes cruelest face and reaffirms its condition of maximum exponent as pathologic factor inside this set of subjects dynamic known as abusive family, nowadays causing many damages to the individual and group mental functioning of its members. Leaving of psychoanalysis theoretic concepts, we search the comprehension of the interchange between subjective experience and objective reality into the aggressors psyche, his victims responsive attitude, familys contribution and cultures role in the phenomenons perpetuation. We verify, therefore, it concerns to an amalgam formed for elements of philogenesis, ontogenesis and culture. Because of it, the Édipos complex appeared as the nodal point, surrounded for all the dynamic of incestuous abuse father-daughter that had became the cruelest way of symbolic filicide. The sexual abuse, according to our understanding, will allow an effective intervention in terms of the cultural code just by the victims and her familys side, since by the aggressors side we will find, even with giant gradation, the psychopathology, that is, the incapacity to contain the desire, the impulses dominium, the not being susceptible to the moral and ethics, at last, the perversion. And, in this case, the interventions go of isolation to chemical castration, crossing the psychotherapy without, however, encouraging results. We consider that the formation of the characters structure is a learning processs product, and this process means the conformation of the subject to the culture, having as basis the behaviors social and biological factors. Therefore, we believe that education is the propeller instrument of the paradigms changes we need to think and work the family. However, its relevant to observe that, as structural factor of the mental functioning, the applicability of Edipos law to the new familiar configurations can be object of this themes posterior deepening, as well as for studies with other themes inherent to the family

It is undeniable that the use of the communication and information technologies (TIC), developed in the XX and XXI centuries, can create new connections and positive interaction ways between civil society and State, making it indispensable the concern about the effects of the inappropriate use of those new technologies. In this scenery, there is the potential that confronts the fundamental rights, as the right of personal data protection, what can be done not only by private ones but also by the State, principally in cases in which the violation comes from the Judiciary Power itself. This is the subject to which this dissertation is about, and analyses the juridical treatment of personal data available for the Judiciary Power and the potential violation in the case of publication of the judicial decisions in the institutional websites, what is done with the aim of discussing the (in)existence of computing self determination rights up against the Judiciary Power. To build up the basis theory, some authors who dialogue concern Law and the Internet were chosen, using as a theoretical basis the contributions from Catarina Sarmento e Castro, Ingo Sarlet and Manuel Castells. The thematic allowed the dialetical analisys, because: a) it is started from the idea that democratic societies have wide information propagation in its support; b) it is confronted the idea of the defense as freedom of speech might be unlimited and irrestrictively used by the State Powers, highlighting the Judiciary Power, once its action cannot bring violation to the rights nor promote the discrimination of jurisdicioners (what can happen due to the propagation of determined data); c) it is evolved to a possible synthesis, when, from the practices observed in the tribunals websites, was aimed to propose alternatives of harmonizing the conflict. Concerning to the procedure method, a comparative and monographic one was used, revealing if there was violation of personal data and, if it have happened, it was seen how such transgression to essential rights happened. The research focused on Brazil, during the period from July to September of 2016, moment in which the website of five FRT were navigated, using the term “infant pornography on the web” in the jurisprudence-searching field. From the results in this field, it was done some analysis to verify if there were data exposed, victims or not, which were supposed to be in secret of justice. / É inegável que o uso das tecnologias de informação e comunicação (TIC), desenvolvidas nos século XX e XXI, tanto pode criar novas conexões e formas de interação positivas entre sociedade civil e Estado, quanto desenvolve novos riscos e vulnerabilidades aos direitos, tornando indispensável a reflexão dos efeitos da utilização inadequada das novas tecnologias. Nesse cenário, há o potencial de afronta a direitos fundamentais, como o direito de proteção de dados pessoais, o que pode ser feito tanto por particulares, quanto pelo Estado, mormente nos casos em que a violação parte do próprio Poder Judiciário. Essa é a problemática sobre a qual versa esta dissertação, que analisa tratamento jurídico dos dados pessoais sensíveis pelo Poder Judiciário e a potencial violação em caso de publicação das decisões judiciais envolvendo pornografia infantil nos portais institucionais, o que é feito com o objetivo de discutir a (in)existência do direito de autodeterminação informática em face do Poder Judiciário. Para compor a teoria de base, foram escolhidos autores que dialogam a respeito do Direito e da Internet, utilizando como marco teórico as contribuições de Catarina Sarmento e Castro, Ingo Sarlet e Manuel Castells. A temática permitiu a análise dialética, pois a) partiu-se da tese que as sociedades democráticas têm na ampla divulgação de informações o seu sustentáculo; b) contrapõe essa ideia pela defesa de que essa liberdade de informação não deve ser exercida de maneira irrestrita e ilimitada por parte dos Poderes do Estado, com destaque para o Poder Judiciário, pois sua atuação não pode gerar violação a direitos ou provocar a discriminação dos jurisdicionados (o que pode ocorrer em face da divulgação de determinados dados sensíveis); c) evoluindo para uma possível síntese, ocasião em que, à luz das práticas observadas nos sites dos tribunais, se intentou propor alternativas de harmonização desse conflito. No tocante ao método de procedimento, utilizou-se o comparativo e o monográfico, revelando se houve violação dos dados pessoais dos jurisdicionados e, caso tenha ocorrido, constatou-se de que maneira aconteceu tal transgressão de direitos fundamentais. A pesquisa centrou-se no Brasil, no período de julho a setembro de 2016, momento em que foram consultados os sítios eletrônicos dos cinco Tribunais Regionais Federais, colocando no campo de pesquisa de jurisprudência o termo “pornografia infantil na internet”. A partir do resultado nesse campo, realizou-se as análises para verificar se foram expostos dados dos jurisdicionados, vítimas e/ou réus, os quais deveriam permanecer em segredo de justiça.
