Strengthening the Criminal Justice Response to Domestic Violence Through a New Offence of Coercive Control? The Queensland Experience
Traditionally, mainstream criminal law discourse has associated domestic violence most closely with physical violence. Feminist jurisprudential approaches, however, have long emphasised coercion and non-physical abuse in domestic violence. The term “coercive control”, developed by Evan Stark in his clinical practice, has led to a growing public and political sentiment that coercive controlling behaviour was an under-recognised precursor to intima…
