La respuesta estatal a la violencia intrafamiliar

Abstract

In Chile, treatment and response to the phenomenon of the domestic violence has substantially changed since the first statutory law enacted in 1994 to nowadays. It has gone from a therapeutic approach towards a more repressive response, thereby giving jurisdiction to the criminal justice over this kind of act. To inquire, from a quantitative and qualitative approach about the impact of the legal changes of the last years is the object of this work.
