Resumen

La violencia de pareja es la principal patología en relaciones interpersonales, y las mujeres son las víctimas en una aplastante mayoría de los casos. En este momento, hay en vigor un marco jurídico internacional bien establecido, el cual define la violencia de pareja como violación de derechos humanos reconocidos a nivel internacional. Sin embargo, la aplicación de esos estándares ha demostrado ser difícil, porque, para su efectividad, se requieren acuerdos a distintos niveles. Este artículo investiga si las autoridades policiales y el sistema de justicia –como parte de la red de apoyo a las víctimas– pueden ayudar a las víctimas a escapar de la violencia y a restablecer la normalidad en sus vidas, y de qué manera. Nos centramos en la brecha entre el derecho en los libros y el derecho en acción. A este fin, el artículo presenta los hallazgos de un estudio de caso de Italia, basado tanto en análisis de documentos como en investigación de campo. El objetivo principal es arrojar luz sobre problemas organizacionales que pueden poner seriamente en peligro la efectividad de los sistemas que deben proteger a las víctimas y el pleno disfrute de los derechos personales de éstas.
