Abstract

Objective. To describe the influence of the conviction sentence according to Law No. 30 710 on the protection of the health and integrity of the family group in the Unipersonal Courts of Huánuco, 2017-2018. Method. A mixed, basic, deductive, descriptive-explanatory approach was used, under a non-experimental design. The sample corresponded
to 28 convictions and 4 unipersonal judges. The technique used for the development of the research was documentary analysis, case analysis and interview. The instruments used were the documentary analysis and observation guide, the case analysis guide and the questionnaire, validated by experts. Results. The application of Law No. 30 710 in the conviction sentence generates unprotection in the health and integrity of women and members of the family group in the Unipersonal Courts of Huánuco, 2017-2018, verifying a high positive correlation with an “r” = 0.920. Conclusion. The referred law, by preventing the imposition of a restrictive measure of a suspended nature for the crime of minor injuries to the detriment of the woman and members of the family group, is punitive and not preventive; consequently, it does not safeguard the physical integrity or the identity of the victim.
