Marcelle Lins. Although the common sense deals with the homicide crime as a fatalistic chance completely out of human control, the sociological experience shows that the violent deaths are predictable in whole SOARES, ,p. In a broader set of deaths, subsets can be identified and delimited with specific characteristics that allow a large knowledge and predictability of the phenomenon.
The aim of this work was limited by the subsets of homicide crimes practiced against women defined by Klarissa Silva , p. According to an extract from the indictment: " Police inquiry shows that after a troubled relationship between the defendant and the victim, characterized by a coexistence at loggerheads, influenced by the evil presence of alcohol, jealousy and constant aggressive actions, this degrading relationship was ended at the initiative of the victim.
In the context of this delimitation, the objective of the article is to amplify the comprehension of the moral dimension of this kind of conflict that ends in the total eradication of the interlocutor for tightly moral reasons, beyond forecasts and criminal considerations that oftentimes precede the crime without avoiding it.
Two approaches were used on the present work. Cachoeiro de Itapemirim, a city in the southern of Espirito Santo state, was taken as reference; initially it was traced a profile of women who were victims of homicides from to using collected data directly from the corresponding police investigations. The second strategy took care of analyzing the dynamic of two homicide cases selected from this delimited universe as a form to illustrate the way of the moral insult context and the social contempt where the victims lived, hypothesis that was confirmed before the preliminary investigations.
If from a macro point of view appealed to the recognizing theory and its evolution to characterize the environment in which the violence happens, the case analysis sought inspiration on action sociology, focused on the action of the social actors on determined situations.
