SALUD MASCULINA Y MASCULINIDADES EN EL CONTEXTO DE LA JUSTICIA DE LA CIUDAD DE BUENOS AIRES: UN ENFOQUE BIOPSICOSOCIAL

Abstract

The article proposes the systematic incorporation of a biopsychosocial approach into judicial workshops for men referred for minor offenses and criminal cases in the autonomous city of buenos aires. It analyzes various components of the male health-illness process, such as traumatic brain injuries and substance use disorders, among others, and their relationship to rigid masculine norms and socioeconomic conditions that interact to increase the risk of morbidity, mortality, and violent behavior. Based on evidence collected by the coordination of the group-based, in-person program for addressing gender violence (d.a.n.v.g.), it is proposed that rulings in judicial proceedings for gender violence cases should include evaluations that consider the defendants from a holistic perspective, thus contributing to the goal of preventing recidivism.
