The recognition and subsequent criminalization of coercive control in the UK and Ireland have garnered significant international attention, raising intricate questions about the most effective approach to address domestic abuse. This comprehensive work examines recent domestic abuse criminal law reform in both countries. It defines coercive control and highlights the limitations of traditional criminal law approaches in prosecuting it effectively. The book explores the differences in laws passed in England and Wales versus Scotland, representing two distinct approaches to translating coercive control into a criminal offense. By examining these variations, the volume sheds light on the reasons behind the jurisdictional choices and evaluates the advantages and disadvantages of each approach. In the context of global efforts to enhance national criminal justice responses to domestic abuse, the question of what works and why at the intersection of domestic abuse and the criminal law has become paramount. As such, this book serves as a valuable resource for lawyers, policy-makers, and activists engaged in domestic abuse law reform. It provides insights into the legal frameworks, policy considerations, and practical challenges involved in combating coercive control and promoting victim safety.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 344g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 154 x 235 x 15 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781032422879\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CassandraWiener","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44103985955066,"sku":"9781032422879","price":39.03,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1675434445679_book.jpg?v=1676192366","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/coercive-control-and-the-criminal-law-9781032422879","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
