A efetividade da lei Maria da Penha, para a prevenção e combate à violência doméstica.

Abstract

This study aimed to clarify subjects that are often discussed erroneously and misguidedly not only by members of society, but also by teachers in the field of law, about domestic and family violence. However, to make this possible, it was initially required by the qualitative methodology in hermeneutics, the essential historical factors considered essential to the origin of Law nº 11.340/2006 - Maria da Penha Law, as well as the forms of violence, their respective protective measures and criminal prosecution possibilities. Eventually, it is clear that the current legislation and all other legal protections that this legislation develops, are indeed effective. However, occasions when this topic is unknown are not rare to many of those responsible for the implementation of these and/or they do it in an incompatible way with the provisions of the legal text.
