Fragmentos de uma justiça restaurativa no poder judiciário: estudo de caso no 4º juizado de violência doméstica e familiar contra a mulher de Maceió/AL

Abstract

The work has as its object of investigation, a case study in the 4th Court of Domestic and Family Violence Against Women in the capital/AL. At first, the referential theoretical bases linked to Restorative Justice are defined, based on the work of Howard Zehr. From this, the research points to historical, criminological and critical aspects related to the Maria da Penha Law. Possible obstacles exist in the relationship between restorative practices, in the context of domestic violence, and their management by the Judiciary. Through field research, of a qualitative and ethnographic nature, the history of the 4th Court, the state legislation and jurisdictional jurisdiction is presented. The methodology used for data collection was the semi-structured interview, which allowed us to understand the dynamics and procedures of the characters responsible for restorative justice practices in the environment of the 4th JVDFMC. The hypothesis is that practices advertised as restorative and administered by the Judiciary, in crimes of domestic violence, do not find a theoretical correspondence within the references adopted in the investigation.
