Coercive Control: An updated model of Domestic Violence (27 min)

Chris Engel 4/28/137:00 PM

Description: "Evan Stark, founder of one of America's first battered women's shelters, shows how "domestic violence" is neither primarily domestic nor necessarily violent, but a pattern of controlling behaviors more akin to terrorism and hostage-taking.... Stark urges us to move beyond the injury model and focus on the real victimization that allows men to violate women's human rights with impunity. The Coercive Control model reframes abuse as a liberty crime rather than a crime of assault and points the way to bringing "real" equality for women in line with their formal rights to personhood and citizenship, freedom and safety."
