Violência doméstica e familiar: análise de documentos na Delegacia de Atendimento à Mulher de Dourados-MS

Abstract

This master thesis investigates one of the gender relations problems, the domestic and familiar violence, from the perspective of police documents - police reports and police inquiries. This work is composed by three sections in the format of scientific articles. The first reports results obtained from a systematic review that aimed to analyze the scientific productions on the theme of domestic violence against women from police documents and records, which constitutes the theoretical framework of the first empirical study, the result of the second section. The results converge with most current studies in the area. The second section deals with an analysis of the documents of the Dourados Women's Service Police Station, Mato Grosso do Sul, by the important source of data that constitute, but still little explored. The results obtained corroborate previous studies on the characterization of violence against women, as well as the types of violence and aggravating and motivator elements for the phenomenon that occurred in 2017 and 2018. The aggressor is, in the imminent majority, the intimate partner. The most recurring aggressions are the threat and willful injury, respectively, these types of aggressions appear associated in some records, and the main motivator for these aggressions is jealousy. It can be assessed that social inequalities between the sexes perpetuate female subalternity, making women even more vulnerable. This has been proven in the empirical study, in which almost half of women have no job / fixed income, while this share is much lower for men. This study pointed out important characteristics on the theme and the obtained data are in line with research results in the area. The third session focuses on violence against indigenous women, seeking to characterize the differences between violence suffered by indigenous and non-indigenous women using the same data as in the previous section. As well as analyzing why indigenous women do not denounce the violence suffered, what barriers are encountered and how to give visibility to the struggle of these women.
