Abstract

Based on an exploratory, qualitative analysis proposal, this work aims to investigate the universe of the feminine who kills and how society and the law deal with this issue from the commission of the crime, as well as the media and criminological influence throughout this process. After that, the defense begins to work hard to guarantee the rights of the accused. To this end, it is necessary to understand conjugal violence as a dynamic experience, after all, there is a relationship of affection behind this context, which will make the dynamics complex following the break with pain. Therefore, a theoretical analysis of concepts such as patriarchy, abusive relationships, gender violence and domestic violence are essential. From then on, an in-depth study of how society and the law deal with criminal women and the media and criminological perspective on this issue is necessary. Finally, the role of the defense is essential in guaranteeing the rights of the accused, with the study of theses such as: self-defense, privileged homicide, ineligibility of different conduct, as well as principles of the criminal process such as: in dubio pro defendant, due legal process, between others.
