Many people — including authorities and the press — still believe that "domestic violence" is a crime.
But this is a serious mistake. "Domestic violence" is not the name of a crime, but rather the context in which a crime is committed.
In this video, Dr. Vinícius Vieira clearly explains why the term is used incorrectly and how this can generate serious confusion in investigations and criminal proceedings.
You will understand:
What "domestic violence" really means;
Who can be a victim in this context (not just women);
Why the Maria da Penha Law only applies to women who fall under the hypotheses of Article 5;
And why it is wrong to say that Article 129, §9 of the Penal Code deals with "the crime of domestic violence".
Watch until the end — this clarification can make all the difference for those who are being unjustly accused.
