A lei 13.104/15 lei do feminicídio, como política pública e seu impacto nos casos registrados de 2006 a 2020.

Abstract

Law 13.104, the law on femicide, was enacted in March 2015 as a result of the constant struggles of women's groups and feminists that made this topic increasingly recurrent and drew attention to the homicides of women. This law works as a qualifier for homicides, so crimes that result in the death of a woman and that are perpetrated on the basis of gender will be classified differently from other homicides. In this context, the present study has as main objective to analyze the impact of the femicide law in the time series from 2016 to 2020. The theme was selected given its importance and social and scientific relevance that makes it possible, through the evaluation of a public policy, to show which they are the most urgent needs and changes of society or one of its groups. Taking into account its methodology, the study has a quantitative, basic, descriptive approach and has a hypothetical deductive approach, so the hypothesis raised was that the inclusion of a new criminal type generated an expansion that resulted in an increase in the number of femicides, showing that the simple classification of a new crime can be a policy without many results. With the analysis of the numbers of female homicides that are considered femicides and those that are not, the hypothesis was proven, given that the emergence of new laws without the efficiency of the institutions that guarantee their effectiveness does not guarantee the success of the action.
