Legal Change. Xxxxxxxx (2005) argues that domestic violence cases have been increasingly ‘judicialised’ across the Latin American region due to the hemisphere-wide growth in informal and transactional forms of justice. These were promoted by both national reformers and international bodies such as the World Bank, intended to expand access to justice for the general population. Due to its common colonial and post-colonial histories, Latin America has relatively high homogeneity in its legal systems, and in 1994 it was the first region to appoint a Special Rapporteur on Women’s Rights and to draft and approve its own domestic violence norms, after the Organization of American States’ Convention on the Prevention, Punishment and Eradication of Violence against Women, known as the Belém do Pará Convention. Xxxxxxxx (2005) suggests that in many ways the laws passed in the region are quite progressive in relation to measures and exclusions the courts can apply, the detailing of responsibilities of the police, courts and social services, as well as protection for victims and criminal sanctions against offenders. Furthermore, Xxxxxxxx argues that the definitions of domestic violence are generally very complete, encompassing not only physical assault, but also psychological, emotional, financial and sexual abuse, including, in some cases, rape in marriage. Yet Xxxxxxxx also finds that a process of ‘hybridised’ judicialisation has been highly problematic, because complaints have shifted to the courtroom as domestic violence is not part of the Penal Code, and is instead considered to be a primarily civil offence. According to Xxxxxxxx, this has effectively de-criminalised and downgraded domestic violence, despite the apparently more precise operational definitions of domestic violence detailed in law (Macaulay, 2005). Brazil has taken the lead to address this problem. In September 2006, the Brazilian Congress passed the historic ‘Xxxxx xx Xxxxx’ law – Xxx Xxxxx da Penha12 (n11.340) – making domestic violence a crime for the first time and giving protection to victims of any sex, including same- sex couples (Amnesty, 2008). Whereas hearings for domestic violence had previously taken place in small claims courts often resulting in the payment of a fine, perpetrators now face 12 Named after the woman who was shot, electrocuted and rendered paraplegic by her university professor husband.
