This book considers whether coercive control (particularly
non-physical forms of family violence) should be prohibited by the
criminal law. Based on the premise that traditional understandings
of family violence are severely limited, it considers whether the
core of family violence is power-based controlling or coercive
behavior: attempts by men to psychologically dominate their
partners. Such behavior can cause significant psychological,
physical and economic harms to victims and is increasingly
recognized as a form of human rights abuse. The book considers the
new offences that have been introduced in England and Wales
(controlling or coercive behavior), Ireland (controlling behavior)
and Scotland (domestic abuse). It invites consideration of three
key questions: Do conventional criminal laws adequately regulate
non-physical abuse? Is the criminal law an appropriate mechanism
for responding to the coercive control of family members? And if a
new and distinctive offence is warranted, what is the optimal form
of that offence? This ground-breaking work is essential reading for
researchers and practitioners interested in coercive control and
the proper role of the criminal law as a mechanism for regulating
family violence.
