State responses to feminicide in Latin America, characterised in
many cases by indifference and incompetence, have caused global
concern. This book provides a new and refreshingly positive story
from the region by tracing the transformation of state responses to
feminicide in Brazil. It is the first single country study to
examine in detail how strategic action by the women's movement has
resulted in significant improvements in the investigation,
prosecution and prevention of domestic violence and feminicide.
Fiona Macaulay showcases the main contributory factors to the
development of criminal justice best-practices around feminicide.
She demonstrates the combined impact of regional efforts, local
women's movement mobilisation, changes in the law and its
application, and the action of policy entrepreneurs within the
criminal justice institutions. Drawing on her knowledge of
pioneering coalitions of interest involving feminist academics,
NGOs, local campaigners, bureaucrats, politicians, police and
prosecutors, the author unveils how these actors were able to
identify, create and use institutional spaces to ensure
long-lasting positive change. This book is a must-read for
activists and researchers interested in practical strategies for
improving criminal justice responses to gender-based violence,
gender-aware police reform, comparative and feminist criminology,
and the social and institutional dynamics of violence in Latin
America.
