lence in the early life of trapped women can contribute to their
involvement in crimes and misdemeanors.
Objective To review the production of national and international
scientific knowledge about the effects of violence on women’s
health before her incarceration.
Aims Meet the publications about the consequences of violence
on women’s health before she was imprisoned.
Method Integrative review of scientific literature to answer:
“What are the implications of violence on women’s health before
their incarceration?” Studies of the last 5 years delimited in the
databases LILACS, PUBMED and PsycInfo. Selected primary stud-
ies with women incarcerated people over 18 years, in Portuguese,
English and Spanish language. Excluded studies that addressed
violence inside the prison and wife as perp. An instrument for
identification of studies and their categorization was used.
Results Sixteen selected articles that have addressed the preva-
lence of post-traumatic stress disorder, suicide, drug abuse, sexual
abuse and re-victimization (where the abuser was usually a family
member or intimate partner).
Conclusion There is a lack of a specific instrument to investigate
the occurrence of violence against women before being arrested.
Scientific and policy initiatives are required to develop specific
intervention strategies for women incarcerated victimized before
prison.

Introduction Violence is a social and relational problem of
humanity. When coming across a feminine jail population, the
violence problem can take diverse proportions. Beyond being per-
petrators of some sort of violence, these women can also be victims
throughout their lives and even during their period of imprison-
ment.
Objective Describe the social representations that imprisoned
women have concerning daily experiences in prison.
Aims Knowing the meaning of daily experience in prison to
women.
Methods Qualitative exploratory-descriptive field study, carried
through with 15 prisoners of the feminine prison of Ribeirão Preto
(SP-Brazil). A semi-structuralized interview was used. Results sub-
mitted to the content analysis technique.
Results “Daily experiences with violence in prison”: they
revealed feelings of abandonment and indifference to their health;
they denounced suffering physical and psychological violence from
employees and other female prisoners; the relation between them
is marked by conflicts and aggressions. “Consequences of the arrest
in the women’s lives”: complained about the loss of contact with
their familiars; there were relieves about lack of support and sys-
tem’s indifference for the readjustment in society.
Conclusions This study contributed as stimulus and reference for
the implementation of other researches with populations of pris-
ons, amongst them the ones that aim to establish strategies for the
reintegration of these women in society and the shift of paradigms
related to them. Moreover, with the intention of supplementing
researches with incarcerated women, we suggest studies that also
have familiars and professionals (or visitors) as subjects.

Introduction Violence against women, committed by an intimate
partner, is a serious public health problem. On an international
scope it has been researched the relation between intimate partner
violence and cognitive aspects of aggressors.
Objective To investigate if couples use violence to resolve con-
flicts and if there are differences in cognitive aspects of men in
couples where there is intimate partner violence when compared
to couples who have a harmonious relationship.
Method The Revised Conflict Tactics Scale (CTS2) was used. The
cognitive aspects of male partners was investigated by Wechsler
Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS-III), certain factors such as verbal
and executive functions, to compare the testing results of men who
have committed violence against their partners with those who did
not.
Results Thirty-one couples with intimate partner violence police
reports and 31 couples who, according to their own perceptions,
said to maintain harmonious marital relationship. The compar-
isons between groups allowed observing that even among couples
who judge to be in a peaceful relationship, violent behaviors were
detected. These behaviors tend to be naturalized and not consid-
ered as violence by partners. In regard to men’s cognitive aspects,
especially those related to WAIS-III verbal skills and impulse
control, they possibly exert some influence to intimate partner
violence.
Conclusion The possible influence of cognitive aspects of the per-
petrator on violence against women could be reduced through
long-term actions, especially those concerned to early education,
since this is the appropriateway to culturally change and to develop
satisfactory social and cognitive skills of the individual.
