Description

Children of Coercive Control is a groundbreaking analysis of interpersonal violence that extends Evan Stark's previous work to explore child abuse and child homicide. This book reveals coercive control as the primary cause and context of child maltreatment, outside of war zones.

The author illustrates the dynamics and consequences of coercive control in children through dramatic cases drawn from headlines and his forensic practice. These cases highlight how coercive control can be linked to the abuse of women and mothers harming their own children to survive or protect them.

By challenging common assumptions about child abuse, this book proposes a new approach to addressing the issue, one that focuses on coercive control as a criminal cause of maltreatment. This fresh perspective offers a plausible justice response and highlights the need for a more nuanced understanding of child abuse and neglect.
