Violencia de género en la familia: perspectiva juridico penal
In: CIENCIA ergo-sum : revista científica multidisciplinaria de la Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México, Band 22, Heft 2, S. 116-124
In the present work, the Federal Constitution and international treaties that oblige the State criminally to guarantee the women's human rights to have a life free of violence at home, from a protectionist perspective are analyzed. It is concluded that to fulfill with such obligation, the legislative creation of a penal norm to punish the domestic violence associated with gender-based violence is unavoidable. This legislative action would be part of a new criminological policy specifically dedicated to the prevention, punishment and eradication of gender-based violence at home.
