O depoimento especial de crianças e adolescentes no sistema de justiça criminal : uma análise a partir da Lei nº 13.431/2017.

Abstract

The testimony without harm, which is based on Law 13,431, guarantees protection for children and adolescents who have been victims of violence, whether domestic or not. It also ensures that the victim of the crime or violence has a specialized professional when they are going to testify about the incident, who will handle the situation in a way that does not bring more trauma and memories of what they suffered to the child. In this sense, the present work aims to analyze and discuss the effectiveness of Law 13,431/2017, in relation to the Brazilian justice system, as well as the measures taken so that children and adolescents have due protection, when providing the testimony of the violence he suffered. The question raised concerns the effectiveness of the testimony without harm or specialized listening and whether it is really capable of alleviating the harm suffered by the infants.
