TYPOLOGY OF VIOLENCE AND ITS CHARACTERISTICS IN BRAZIL: ETHICAL-LEGAL ASPECTS

Abstract

The epidemiological profile of violence analyzes data and statistics to understand the distribution and factors that influence violence in a population, considering aspects such as age, gender, location, and socioeconomic status. The most affected groups include young people, especially men, and women, who often face domestic and sexual violence. Violence is more prevalent in densely populated urban areas and in contexts of poverty (self-inflicted, interpersonal, and collective). The typologies of violence include (physical, psychological/moral, sexual, obstetric, financial/economic, resulting from legal intervention, torture, human trafficking, negligence/abandonment and child labor). Understanding this profile is essential to develop effective public policies for prevention and support for victims.
