Description
Coercive Control and the Criminal Law by Cassandra Wiener explores how coercive control can be criminalised. Recent domestic abuse criminal law reform in the UK and Ireland has generated complex questions about the best approach to prosecuting this phenomenon. The book examines two different approaches taken by England and Wales and Scotland, highlighting their advantages and disadvantages. As jurisdictions worldwide review national responses to domestic abuse, understanding what works and why is crucial. This volume provides a vital resource for lawyers, policy-makers, and activists seeking to improve domestic abuse law reform. By defining coercive control and explaining why traditional criminal law approaches are insufficient, Wiener sheds light on the challenges of translating this complex issue into effective legislation.
