The Coercive Control of Children
The Coercive Control of Children provides a forensic analysis of interpersonal violence to children, which highlights coercive control as the most significant cause and context of child abuse and child homicide. Numerous countries and US states adopted coercive control as the overarching definition of violence against women. Thus, children become secondary victims in the process. The Coercive Control of Children also details cases wherein the coe…
The coercive control of Daniel and Magdalena Lucek: A case of child abuse as tangential spouse abuse
Drawing on a model developed by the author, coercive control was adapted in 2012 as the framework for a new “cross governmental” response in the health and social services to woman and child abuse in Great Britain, including changes in the criminal laws. I illustrate the forensic utility of the coercive control framework by applying it to explore the circumstances leading up to the murder of 4‐year old, Daniel Pelka (DP), in Coventry, England in …
Coercive Control: Update and Review
This article reviews the background, introduction, and critical response to new criminal offenses of coercive control in England/Wales and Scotland. How the new Scottish offense is implemented will determine whether it can overcome the shortcomings of the English law. We then review new evidence on four dimensions of coercive control: the relationship between "control" and "violence," coercive control in same-sex couples, measuring coercive contr…

Looking Beyond Domestic Violence: Policing Coercive Control
The current policy, legal, and criminal justice response to partner abuse is based on a “violent incident model” that equates abuse with discrete assaults and gauges severity by the degree of injury inflicted or threatened. Although application of this model by police has reduced serious and fatal partner violence, it has not significantly improved the long-term prospects of battered women. This article argues that the limited effectiveness of th…
Rethinking Coercive Control
The critical appraisals of Coercive Control focus largely on what my analysis implies for intervention, a matter to which the book devotes only limited space. In this reply, I reiterate core concepts in the book and acknowledge that much more work is needed to translate the realities of coercive control into practical legal and advocacy strategies. I review how coercive control differs from partner assaults and so why it merits a distinct respons…
Do Violent Acts Equal Abuse? Resolving the Gender Parity/Asymmetry Dilemma
Coercive Control: The Entrapment Of Women In Personal Life
The battle against domestic violence has focused primarily on incidents of extreme physical abuse and the resulting trauma to the victim. While there is a growing understanding of some forms of psychological abuse, such as stalking, there is less understanding of the pattern of abuse where physical attacks are combined with isolation, intimidation, and control. Stark argues that coercive control, which may not include any physical abuse, is actua…
Commentary on Johnson’s “Conflict and Control: Gender Symmetry and Asymmetry in Domestic Violence”
Insults, Injury, and Injustice: Rethinking State Intervention in Domestic Violence Cases
Since its inception, the battered women’s movement has struggled with how to reconcile the state’s indispensable role in securing safety, support, and liberty for victims with its equally undeniable role in perpetuating the patterns of discrimination and privilege from which it continues to derive legitimacy. This dilemma is most vivid in low-income and minority communities where preexisting vulnerabilities magnify the effects on personal, family…
Violent Crime: Assessing Race and Ethnic Differences
Analysts have long noted that some societies have much higher rates of criminal violence than others. They have also observed that the risk of being a victim or a perpetrator of violent crime varies considerably from one individual to another. In societies with ethnically and racially diverse populations, some ethnic and racial groups have been reported to have higher rates of violent offending and victimization than other groups. This exceptiona…

Woman-Battering, Child Abuse and Social Heredity: What is the Relationship
This paper explores the relationship between child abuse and woman-battering. In so doing the authors test and reject the hypothesis, common in the violence literature, that 'violence begets violence'. The vast majority of woman-batterers do not come from homes where they were beaten, and the vast majority of men who were beaten as children do not later batter their wives. Child abuse experts deny the importance of woman-battering. Interventions …
Medicine and Patriarchal Violence: The Social Construction of a “Private” Event
Our objectives are to describe the pattern of abuse associated with battering and to evaluate the contribution of the medical system and of broader social forces to its emergence. A pilot study of 481 women who used the emergency service of a large metropolitan hospital in the U.S. shows that battering includes a history of self-abuse and psychosocial problems, as well as repeated and escalating physical injury. In addition, although the number o…
