Resumo: The paper presents the results of a qualitative study conducted with 14 women serving prison sentences in Portugal, for killing their (former) partners. Aiming to analyze the possible relationship between the practice of homicide and a previous history of domestic violence, among other factors, in-depth interviews were developed, and their individual files were examined. Results suggest that these women experienced several risk factors for domestic violence and marital homicide, although their motives for killing were varied. It was possible to verify that proven histories of domestic violence in court did reduce the dosimetry of the sentences.

Com o objetivo de analisar a possível relação entre a prática de homicídio e um historial prévio de violência doméstica, entre outros fatores, foram desenvolvidas entrevistas em profundidade e examinados os seus processos individuais. Os resultados sugerem que estas mulheres vivenciaram vários fatores de risco para a ocorrência de violência doméstica e homicídio conjugal, embora os seus motivos para cometer o crime fossem diversos.

Afin d’analyser la relation possible entre la pratique de l’homicide et les antécédents de violence domestique, entre autres facteurs, des entretiens approfondis ont été réalisés et leurs processus individuels ont été examinés. Les résultats suggèrent que ces femmes ont connu plusieurs facteurs de risque de violence domestique et d’homicide conjugal, même si leurs motivations pour commettre le crime aient été diverses. Il a été possible de vérifier que la présence d’antécédents avérés de violences conjugales réduisait la dosimétrie des peines.El artículo presenta los resultados de un estudio cualitativo realizado con 14 mujeres que cumplían condena de prisión en Portugal por el asesinato de sus (ex-)parejas. Para analizar la posible relación entre la práctica del homicidio y un historial previo de violencia doméstica, entre otros factores, se realizaron entrevistas en profundidad y se examinaron sus procesos individuales. Los resultados sugieren que estas mujeres experimentaron varios factores de riesgo, dando lugar a la violencia doméstica y el homicidio conyugal, aunque sus motivos para cometer el delito fueron diversos. Se pudo verificar que la presencia de antecedentes comprobados de violencia intrafamiliar redujo la dosimetría de las sentencias.Editora Mundos Sociais2022-05-09T15:29:52Z2022-05-01T00:00:00Z2022-05info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10071/25296eng0873-6529Ferreira, MafaldaQuintas, JorgeNeves, Sofiainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2024-07-07T02:46:54Zoai:repositorio.iscte-iul.pt:10071/25296Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openairemluisa.alvim@gmail.comopendoar:71602024-07-07T02:46:54Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
