O papel dos órgãos de Segurança Pública na efetividade da Lei Maria da Penha : análise da atuação da Patrulha Maria da Penha da Polícia Militar do Estado de Alagoas na fiscalização das medidas protetivas em Maceió

Abstract

The Law 11.340, known as the Maria da Penha Law, was enacted in 2006 to protect women who are victims of domestic violence through prevention and repression actions, such as protective measures that must be complied with by the aggressors. However, the effectiveness of the law depends on the actions of public security agencies in monitoring these measures. In this context, the Maria da Penha Patrol of the Military Police of the State of Alagoas is an example of an initiative that seeks to ensure the protection of women in a specialized and humane way, safeguarding the fundamental rights of the vulnerable population. This study analyzes the literature on the Maria da Penha Patrol in monitoring protective measures in Maceió, the capital of Alagoas. Through participant observation and analysis of data provided by the Maria da Penha Patrol and relevant literature, it was found that the initiative has contributed to increasing the victims' sense of security and ensuring compliance with the protective measures.
