APORTE DE LA PSICOLOGÍA JURÍDICA Y FORENSE FRENTE A LA VIOLENCIA DE PAREJA CONTRA LA MUJER

Abstract

This reflection article contains results obtained on the contribution of legal and forensic psychology to the existing social problem of domestic violence against women, allowing the reader to have a reflective analysis based on said contribution. It is necessary to be clear that an abusive relationship is generally made up of a victim and an abuser, the elements that arise consciously and unconsciously make each party responsible for continuing with said relationship. Consequently, the intervention of legal and forensic psychology in these cases of violence has become increasingly relevant in the judicial field thanks to the expert reports carried out by legal and forensic psychologists, specialists in the area, expert reports that are used as a relevant legal tool in the clarification of this type of cases and in decision-making by the competent judicial authorities in countries where domestic violence against a woman is classified as punishable in the criminal system. This study used a qualitative and quantitative method in the selected literature theme based on feminism as a basic epistemological school, since oppression and gender inequality are directly related in the approach to domestic violence against women, resulting in the support of this reflection article.
