Abstract:

This article analyzes the motivations of domestic violence according to the testimonies of men and women registered in Police Investigations (IP) of the 6th Woman, Child and Adolescent’s Police Station in Florianópolis / Santa Catarina, for the year 2010. This is a quantitative and qualitative research conducted between August and November 2011. We analyzed the information obtained in the investigation of domestic violence perpetrated by partners or ex-partners and containing the testimony of the couple, totaling 172 IP. The issues selected for analysis refer to the profile of the couple, and the reports of violence according to the woman and the man. The results showed that most couples were separated or divorced, aged between 31 and 40 years, and employees, who lived together among one and eleven years. The assaults occurred due to drug use and jealousy, men blame the woman for being responsible for his acts or minimize the situation, and add being victims of violence committed by partner. The study concludes that cultural issues of gender and socioeconomic characteristics are related to this type of violence, and demonstrated that men do not recognize their actions as violent, most often trivialize the consequences of violence, whether physical, psychological or sexual.
