Violência contra idosos durante a pandemia de Covid-19

Research output: Contribution to journalArticle

Abstract

Once the vulnerability and fragility of older people to phenomena of violence is understood, it is not possible to ignore their need for protection during an “atypical” pandemic period, in which risk factors are reinforced, and new dangers surround them: age/vulnerability, isolation/dependence, caregiver overload/tension caused by confinement/economic difficulties associated with the crisis. The problem cannot be adequately solved in temporally limited terms and conditioned to a moment of crisis — which we hope is transitory — so it is analyzed and discussed in general terms in light of the various branches of the legal system, in particular criminal law, constitutional law and inheritance law.
