Abstract
O Purpose of this article is to present the data on domestic violence effectively prosecuted in the Domestic Violence Varas of the 42 districts of the state of Tocantins from information obtained from the Court of Justice’s digital case system (TJ), entitled Electronic Case System (E-PROC). The problem was that the system provided only raw data, but did not distinguish between criminal types. In addition, it has been noted that the accessibility of information is only available to servers and judges of the judiciary. From the time of requesting and capturing the data stored in the period 2013-2015, it was possible to define domestic violence from the point of view of the provisions of Law No 11.340 of 2006. This procedure made it possible to construct detailed tables and graphs according to the types of violence committed, as follows: high, increasing, stable, decreasing and low. It is understood that access to such data by the adjacent population and by researchers on the topic can assist in the construction of public policies in localities where the rates are high or in the process of increasing, as well as possible advances in research that could help to minimise the problem of domestic violence where necessary. The article contributes to complying with the requirements of Article 8 (II) of Law No 11.340 of 2006, which, broadly speaking, sets out the need for research and dissemination of statistical data on domestic violence.
