Summary:
The Coercive Control of Children extends Evan Stark’s path-breaking analysis of interpersonal violence to children, showing that coercive control is the most important cause and context of child abuse and child homicide outside a war zone, as well as of the sexual abuse, denigration, exploitation, isolation and subordination of children. The book provides a working model of the coercive control of children and illustrates its dynamics and consequences withdramatic cases drawn from the headlines and Dr. Stark’s forensic practice. The cases include those in which the coercive control of children runs in tandem with the coercive control of women, where children are « weaponized » in the coercive control of their mother and cases where abused mothers harm theirchildren to survive or protect them from worse. By highlighting a criminal cause of child maltreatment and a plausible justice response, Evan Stark challenges the common assumptions that child abuse and neglect fall on a continuum of problems rooted in maternal deficits, immaturity, poverty, and environmental stressors as well as the combination of Child Welfare and Child Protection Services that currently provide the ameliorative response.

Summary:
Coercive control is a severe form of domestic violence experienced by millions of children worldwide. It involves a perpetrator using a range of tactics to intimidate, humiliate, degrade, exploit, isolate and control a partner or family member. Some coercive control perpetrators use violence, others do not.Drawing on interviews with children and mothers who have experienced coercive control-based domestic violence, this groundbreaking book sheds light on the impacts of coercive control on children, how it is perpetrators who must be held accountable for those impacts, and how resistance by children and mothers occurs. Resistance happens in everyday life, not just in response to incidents of violence. Breaking free from coercive control is not a one-off event but a sustained battle for safety and recovery in which child and adult survivors need supports and professional interventions that work.Written accessibly for students, researchers, practitioners, survivors of domestic violence, and anyone with a general interest in the topic, the book provides a child-centered perspective to revolutionize our understanding of how children are affected by coercive control-based domestic violence.

This sensitively written storybook has been created to help very young children understand about domestic abuse and coercive control.

Luna loves playing with her friends at kitten club, but at home things are different. One terrible night, Luna overhears a domestic abuse incident and, when her own name is mentioned, she wonders if it might be her fault. Accompanied by beautiful and engaging illustrations, the story provides a vehicle for talking with children about their experiences, safety and emotional wellbeing.

Three potential endings allow the story to be personalised to the individual child:

• In ending 1, Luna is comforted by her mummy and remains at home

• In ending 2, Luna and her mummy move to a refuge, and eventually into their own home

• In ending 3, Luna’s daddy apologises for his behaviour promising to change , and she and her mummy move back into the family home

Through age-appropriate rhyming language, this story explores children’s common reactions to domestic abuse, shows them that they are not alone, and helps them talk about their feelings. It is an essential tool for all early years practitioners, as well as professionals working with children and families who are experiencing, or have experienced, domestic abuse and coercive control.

For effective and safe use, this book should be purchased alongside the professional guidebook. Both books can be purchased together as a set, Helping Young Children Learn About Domestic Abuse and Coercive Control: A Luna Little Legs Storybook and Professional Guide [9781032072555]

Dr Jane Monckton-Smith outlines an important framework to identify coercive control within relationships. Dr Jane Monckton-Smith is Professor of Public Protection at the University of Gloucestershire with a specialism in homicide, coercive control and stalking. In addition to her academic work she maintains a diverse portfolio of professional and case work. She works with families bereaved through homicide helping them with criminal justice and other processes; she advises homicide review panels, as well as chairing statutory domestic homicide reviews; she advises police on current and cold investigations, and crisis risk assessments; she trains police and other professionals in assessing threat and risk in cases of domestic violence, and recognising and identifying suspicious deaths. Her most recent book In Control: dangerous relationships and how they end in murder explains her work in creating the ”Homicide Timeline’ that shows how and why homicide risk may be escalating in cases of coercive control and stalking. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

Interview with Professor Jane Monckton-Smith,  who noticed a clear pattern in over 400 domestic murders she was reviewing. We talk about questions like: is domestic abuse chaotic? Can domestic murder be predicted? Does domestic abuse arise out of a situation or is it down to the offender?

A woman is killed by her partner or ex-partner every four days in the UK.

Domestic homicide is a pandemic so pervasive that the soaring figures cause weary resignation rather than alarm. For thirty years, Professor Jane Monckton Smith has been fighting to change this. A former police officer and internationally renowned professor of public protection, she lectures on sexualised and fatal violence; works with families bereaved through homicide: and trains police and other professionals on how to best handle cases involving coercive control, domestic abuse, and stalking.

Killers do not snap and lose control

Her ground-breaking research led to the creation of the eight-stage homicide timeline, laying out identifiable stages in which coercive relationships can escalate to murder and revolutionising our understanding of them.

There are signs, if you know how to see them

In this book, Monckton Smith shares a glimpse into a world of toxic masculinity and coercive control, one in which the tools are shame and fear, helped along by a media and justice system who are far from shedding sexist notions of men and women’s roles in society.

Drawing on disciplines including psychology, sociology and law, she talks to victims, their families, and killers, putting together pieces to the puzzle of how these relationships can end in murder, and bringing to light the reasons why – for so many of us – there is no such thing as the safety of one’s own home.

Based on research with frontline professionals and domestic abuse and homicide victims, this book argues for a re-conceptualisation of the female victim to enhance safety management and encourage a deeper understanding of the emotional dynamics and social structures which perpetuate violence.
