No Brasil, maus-tratos são criminalizados no capítulo do Código Penal sobre o perigo à vida e à saúde. A infração envolve expor pessoas sob sua autoridade ou tutela a perigo, incluindo privação de cuidados essenciais, sujeição a trabalho excessivo ou abuso de métodos disciplinares. As consequências jurídicas variam conforme a gravidade do damage^[4]: detenção^[2] de 2 meses a 1 ano para instâncias básicas, seclusion^[3] de 1 a 4 anos para bodily injury^[1] grave e 4 a 12 anos se o ato resultar em death^[5]. As penalidades são significativamente aumentadas em um terço quando a vítima tem menos de 14 anos. A law^[6] protege primariamente indivíduos vulneráveis, como menores e dependentes, de danos físicos e psicológicos por aqueles responsáveis por seus cuidados e bem-estar.

Terms definitions

1. ↑ bodily injury. Bodily injury is physical harm inflicted on a person, defined in Brazilian Penal Law in Article 129. It covers various degrees of damage, from mild to fatal, and can be intentional or unintentional. The law distinguishes between different types of injury, including serious bodily injury involving permanent disability, loss of function or incurable disease. Domestic violence carries aggravated penalties. Perpetrators can be anyone, and the victim is typically another individual. The legal framework considers factors such as intent, provocation and social context when determining penalties. Culpable bodily injury, resulting from recklessness or negligence, is treated separately. The penal code allows for judicial discretion in sentencing, potentially reducing penalties for privileged bodily injury or substituting detention for fines in less serious cases.

2. ↑ detenção. In Brazilian law, detention covers both pre-trial detention and correctional detention. Correctional detention follows a trial, with the accused retaining their legal rights. According to Article 33 of the Penal Code, convicted individuals serve sentences in semi-open or open regimes, as distinguished from incarceration. The open regime involves serving the sentence in a transition house, while the semi-open regime takes place in agricultural or industrial colonies. This approach emphasises rehabilitation and the gradual reintegration of offenders into society, offering more flexible conditions compared to closed regime imprisonment. The legal framework provides a nuanced approach to the management of criminal sentences, focusing on progressive levels of freedom and potential rehabilitation.
