Coercive Control

Coercive Control, a major update of the seminal first edition, contains painful first-hand accounts of psychological, sexual, financial, and physical abuse of women. Stark identifies the elements of coercive control and the harms they pose to women and their rights. New laws, policies, and approaches are proposed for supporting perpetrators and victims. The overall effect is uplifting because the numerous real life stories emphasize survival and endurance.
