It uses concepts of public management, public policies, violence, and human rights from the theoretical apparatus researched. Methodologically, it is classified as descriptive and exploratory, characterized as quantitative and qualitative. It is based on biographical, document and field research. It uses techniques for semi-structured interviews, applied to the agents of assistance service for women threatened with violence; and for questionnaires for data collecting, applied to a sample of female victims.
