A face invisível da violência patrimonial: uma análise a partir dos atendimentos da Defensoria Pública na 1ª Vara de Violência Doméstica da Capital

Abstract

The present course completion work adopts as thematic axis the discussion about the invisibility of patrimonial violence and its repercussions between women assisted by the Public Defender in the 1st Court of Domestic Violence of the Capital, throughout the year 2019.The stipulated time frame corresponds to the last year of regular care prior to the Covid-19 pandemic, and research is based on the hypothesis that there is, by the Justice System, a kind of hierarchy of the modalities of domestic violence that invisibilizes the typical patrimonial conduct to the detriment of those that cause apparent physical injury.In this way, we seek to answer the following research problem: it is possible to state that property violence, as a form of non physical violence, is invisibilized and undernotified in the care of women in situations of domestic violence, contributing with this, to re-victimization of these women? In view of this, a qualitative-quantitative empirical research was carried out, supported by the hypothetical deductive method of Karl Popper, which allowed the characterization of the sociodemographic profile of the women attended by the specialized; identify the incidence of property violence in relation to other forms of violence provided for in the Maria da Penha Law and understand, from the data obtained, whether these protection rules have been sufficient to protect them from domestic violence. Throughout the present work, the contributions of feminist criminology and victimology are presented - theoretical framework of the research -a brief history of violence against women and the process of implementing the Maria da Penha Law as the main normative instrument for protecting victims, as well as considerations about patrimonial violence as a social phenomenon that affects women since the emergence of private property. Finally, we have the presentation of the methodological path used in the research and the analysis of the results found, which allowed to attest the undernotification of property violence and the limited effectiveness of the normative devices that aim to protect the rights of these victims.
