Abstract

Domestic violence has been described in the literature as phenomenon within the relationships in which its violent nature has a negative impact in the victim, at the physical, psychological, sexual and social levels. In this sense, the present study aimed to characterize domestic violence in a general way, more concretely through the analysis of the cases reported in the Guarda Nacional Republicana (GNR) during 2013. A total of 1852 cases were analyzed. In order to accomplish the goals of the present study, a qualitative analysis was made, under a descriptive framework.
