Authorship SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

Abstracts

Objective: To outline the profile of aggressors arrested in delicto flagrante, and of the violence against women during the period of the implantation and consolidation of the Maria da Penha Law^* in a municipality in the central region of the state of Paraná.

Methods: Retrospective documental research undertaken through considering 130 Warrants of Imprisonment, analyzed by descriptive statistics.

Results: The men were young adult males, married, with low educational levels and undertaking paid work. 89.3% were released on bail. Most were husbands, who committed violence under the influence of alcohol. A significant number already had other records of domestic violence.

Conclusion: The denunciation, as an action in isolation, was shown to be insufficient to break the cycle of violence. It is therefore necessary to direct actions beyond denunciation, through implanting actions for confrontation of this phenomenon, articulated between the health, education, security, justice and social work sectors, geared towards gender equality and a culture of peace.
