A invisibilidade da honra da vítima no tribunal do júri: uma análise crítica acerca da dupla vitimização da mulher nos crimes de feminicídio à luz do caso Ângela Diniz

Abstract

The invisibility of the victim's honor in the Jury Court: a critical analysis of the double victimization of women in femicide crimes in the light of the Ângela Diniz case is the theme of this monographic work, which investigates how narratives constructed in the courtroom can doubly victimize women and contribute to the invisibility of their honor. The crime of femicide, despite legislative changes, was incorporated into the legal system belatedly. Thus, these same crimes previously committed were defined only as the murder of women, disregarding the causes of their commission. In this understanding, femicide is understood as the maximum expression of gender-based violence rooted in patriarchal culture. Regarding the specific objectives, this study seeks to examine the crime of femicide in the context of the historical evolution of Brazilian legislation for the protection of women; to discuss the re-victimization and invisibility of the honor of the victim of femicide within the Jury Court; to reflect on the repercussions of the Ângela Diniz case in the Brazilian legal paradigm in relation to femicide; and, finally, to understand the importance of criminal policies aimed at combating violence against women and promoting gender justice. As for the methodology, bibliographic research was adopted, with a qualitative and quantitative approach to data for a better understanding of the subject under discussion. Furthermore, the study considers documentary analysis consisting of a critical and analytical selection of secondary data, such as academic articles, journalistic reports, legislation and judicial decisions related to the Jury Court and the Supreme Court. It is concluded that the invisibility of the victim's honor in the Jury Court constitutes a form of institutional violence that perpetuates the double victimization of women in femicide crimes
