La fragilidad de la justicia: aproximación a una fenomenología del miedo

This article examines the tensions between protective legal frameworks—specifically Spain's Organic Law 1/2004 regarding gender violence—and the constitutional guarantees of the rule of law. Drawing on legal theory and philosophy (including contributions by Luigi Ferrajoli, H. L. A. Hart, and Hans Kelsen), the paper analyzes the structural incentives that foster the instrumental use of legal complaints in family law disputes. Furthermore, it proposes a conceptual distinction between false and instrumental accusations, ultimately framing the debate within a broader phenomenological inquiry into fear, state coercion, and the erosion of procedural safeguards.
