Monitoramento Eletrônico como Medida de Proteção às Mulheres Vítimas de Violência.

This article aims to address the concepts and experiences of electronic monitoring of male aggressors as a measure to protect female victims of violence. Adopting documentary and bibliographic research as a methodology, it was found that the fact this measure was recently deployed in Brazil (4 years ago) requires advances both in terms of formalizing the application of this measure and evaluating actions that directly affect the social actors concerned. At the first moment, the theme is addressed in a general way, then data on violence against women are analyzed, as well as concepts and aspects related to the origin of electronic monitoring.
