Homicídio : a última etapa do ciclo de violência contra a mulher

Abstract

Thus, if the cycle of violence is not broken, the path is the woman's death. This paper analyzes the murders accomplished women in situations of domestic or family violence, occurred in the period 2011-2013, in the cities of Cuiabá and Lowland Great-MT, as well as detect the use or not of legal instruments, notably those established by Law n. 11.340 / 06, prior to the event that led to the death of the victim. The development work was carried out through literature searches and data collection in the legal and law enforcement institutions.
