Coercive Control/Battery Assessment

Research on risk assessment for domestic violence has identified that coercive control is the “golden thread” running through risk identification and assessment for domestic violence and that risk assessment tools structured around coercive control can help identify dangerous patterns of behavior.

Coercive control reduces victims’ power to make decisions, places limitations on independence, and diminishes the victims’ self-image and strength. Coercive control impacts virtually all dimensions of the victims’ life, including everyday actions, use of economic resources, relationships with family and friends, educational and occupational opportunities, sexuality, and general life activities.

Research indicates that this control does not end when parties separate; when abusers who exhibit coercively controlling behavior are given legal custody, these harmful dynamics continue to the detriment of children and victims. The perpetrator of coercive control may also  to draw children in as weapons of the abuse. This has far-reaching implications on a child’s development. Family Courts must be given the information that they need to act in the child’s best interest, and this often means completion of a comprehensive, metholodologically sound assessment for coercive control.
