FRAGMENTS OF A RESTORATION JUSTICE IN THE JUDICIAL POWER: case study in the 4th Court of Domestic and Family Violence against Women in Maceió/AL

Restorative Justice. Domestic violence. Judicial power.

The research consisted of a case study on the 4th Court of Domestic and Family Violence Against Women in the capital/AL, the first judicial unit in Alagoas, and the implementation of a Restorative Justice program. At first, the referential theoretical bases linked to Restorative Justice are defined, based on the work of Howard Zehr. From this, the research points to historical, criminological and critical aspects related to the Maria da Penha Law. Possible obstacles exist in the relationship between restorative practices, in the context of domestic violence, and their management by the Judiciary. Through field research, of a qualitative and ethnographic nature, the history of the 4th Court, the state legislation and jurisdictional jurisdiction is presented. The methodology used for data collection was the semi-structured interview, which allowed us to understand the dynamics and procedures of the subjects responsible for Restorative Justice practices in the environment of the 4th JVDFMC. The hypothesis is that practices advertised as restorative and administered by the Judiciary, have normative obstacles and some distortions of theoretical assumptions that do not allow to fit, yet, within a restorative justice.
