A possibilidade da justiça restaurativa “inibir” a vitimização secundária nos crimes contra a dignidade sexual

Abstract

The present work aims to demonstrate the possibility of using restorative justice in order to avoid secondary victimization in sexual offenses. In this sense, the use of restorative justice would be a way of bringing the focus of conflict resolution to the needs of the victim, the main victim of the crime. As a methodology, we used the literature review. It is concluded that the way victims are treated by the Brazilian penal system contributes to secondary victimization in sexual offenses. Thus, it is defended the use of the restorative model throughout the process, to enable women victims of sexual offenses to be heard and have their needs met without having to be subjected to another form of violence that would be performed by the penal system.
