Abstract

Considered a worldwide phenomenon, violence can be observed in different ways, reflecting discussions in various spheres. Among the types of violence are studies involving women, in which advances have been observed in favor of women, such as Law No. 11,340 of 2006, which consolidates points about the definition, combat and punishment of the aggressor. The research involved three studies with 135 people, allocated in a group with a history of domestic violence and another with no violence history. Study 1: Aimed to compare the response of men and women with and without a history of violence, identifying possible control variables, and a descriptive study was conducted. All participants completed the sociodemographic questionnaire and the group with a history of violence also answered a questionnaire involving violence. The data showed that the participants were mostly married, white and Protestant. Both men and women reported feeling the negative impact of violence, which can be learned by observation. Among the types of violence, the physical and psychological violence was the most common, and the woman's relationship with fear was common. Study 2: Sought to compare the responses of men and women and identify the most significant data from the application of the Tactical Conflict Scale. As a result it was verified the presence of conflicts in the conjugal relations, evidencing the physical restriction, the use of aversive stimulation and punishment of the men in relation to the women. Study 3: Aimed to compares the choices among participants’ with and without violence histories in situations with delayed or probabilistic arrest due to domestic violence and money loss. It was observed differences in the relative arrest estimated when compared men with and without domestic violence history, and when compared men and women in probable arrest.
