Description

This book offers a critical examination of coercive control in interpersonal relationships. It explores what this concept means, who is impacted by its behaviours, and how academics, policymakers, and advocates have responded to the growing recognition of its effects.

The book discusses the historical emergence of coercive control, its main proponents, and how its effects have been understood. It also considers the role of coercive control in understanding women's pathways into crime and their experiences as victims. The authors examine whether coercive control is a predominantly gendered process and discuss the limitations of this assumption.

The book concludes by situating the growing concern with coercive control within broader concerns about policy transfer, victim-survivor voices, and holistic policy responses to violence against women. It will be of interest to academics, policymakers, and practitioners working in criminal justice who want to understand coercive control and its practical implications.
