1.183 Police reports, in order to compare the profile of violence against women, a year before and during the first year after

married and single women with low education, between 21 and 40 years old. 84.69% of the victims were white. 72.8% of
assaults occurred in residences, between 18 o’clock and midnight, mainly because of argues. From the total, 48.5% of the
cases were psychological, 33.8 % physical, 16.1% moral, 0.8% patrimonial and 0.8% sexual. The aggressors were companions
