Abstract: This study analyses four Brazilian laws against domestic violence. It used the conceptual bibliographic method. It had as units of analysis, the laws Maria da Penha, Feminicide, the Statute of the Elderly, and Child and Adolescent Statute. We collected and organised the data around the presentation of the causes of violence. It includes the law intends to curb, forms of prevention, and treatments given to those who commit the transgression, interpreted with semantic analysis and the results presented in a synthesiser table. The results showed that the Maria da Penha Law presents the types, forms of prevention, and treatment of the violence suffered; the Femicide Law only provided treatment; the Statutes of the Elderly and Children and Adolescents did not present the causes on rights to indicate prevention and treatment. The conclusion shows that the structure of Brazilian laws does not allow full comprehension by ordinary citizens.
