A influência do processo penal na revitimização da mulher vítima de violência doméstica e de gênero

Abstract

The present study examined, through doctrinal and legislative analyses, the phenomenon of revictimization and its relationship with the structure of criminal procedures applied to crimes of domestic and gender-based violence against women. To this end, it addressed the concept of domestic violence, explored the history of women's rights at both national and international levels, and identified the crimes that most commonly victimize women, while analyzing the concept of the victim and her role in the criminal process throughout history. Furthermore, the study assessed the procedural framework applied to these crimes, the concept of revictimization, and the mechanisms already established to combat this phenomenon. Critically analyzing the procedural structure and the role of women victims in the investigation of crimes committed against them, the study ultimately reflects on the possibility of mitigating revictimization through changes in the procedures applied to the prosecution of such crimes
