Therapeutic urgency protective measures in the Planalto Norte Catarinense

Abstract

Effective in specific legislation since 2020, urgent protective measures of a therapeutic nature have the objective of overcoming, but without disregarding, the repressive aspect that is present in measures in general, thus intending a bias that can be called therapeutic when it considers that what is sought is the re-education and recovery of the aggressor subject in the scenario of domestic and family violence against women. When taking into account the time factor since when the Maria da Penha Law came into force, the question arose about the applicability of these measures in the scope of Santa Catarina justice in the planalto norte catarinense, so that it was based on this question that the problem of research was defined and delimited, thus punctuating: have the protective measures of therapeutic urgency been implemented and applied by the justice of Santa Catarina? The objective of the research was guided by the survey in certain districts of Santa Catarina (Mafra, Papanduva, Porto União and Canoinhas) of information or data on the applicability of protective measures of a therapeutic nature in forums since they came into force in the Maria da Penha Law. The methodology used is the exploratory literature review. The results obtained were given in the sense of confirming the negative hypothesis of the research, considering that in most counties the therapeutic measures have not been applied. The conclusion is to point to the need to adopt public policies beyond the thematic legislation, as only with specific programs implemented in the districts is it possible to adopt therapeutic measures in court decisions.
