IMPLEMENTATION OF THE MARIA DA PENHA PATROL IN THE 12TH BATTALION OF THE PARANÁ MILITARY POLICE: ANALYSIS OF RESULTS AFTER ONE YEAR.

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the results obtained from the work of Patrulha Maria da Penha within the scope of the 12th Military Police Battalion of the State of Paraná, as a specialized team with exclusive dedication to dealing with cases of domestic violence, after a year of implementation within the scope of the Operational Unit, which has been acting with an eminently preventive bias, aiming to reduce the occurrence of new cases of family violence, but also contemplating repressive actions, with the aim of arresting criminals in the act and seeking to offer immediate support victims, in order to prevent the repetition of illicit acts. However, in order to broadly understand the current employment scenario of this specialized team and its importance for PMPR and for society in Paraná, we first present an overview of the Maria da Penha Law itself (since its creation, historical advances), to, secondly, demonstrate the path that the Corporation has taken in recent years, from the implementation of the Community Police philosophy, adopted decades ago by the PMPR, to then arriving at the creation of the Maria da Penha Patrols, which fully follow this same philosophy.
