Law reform.

Coercive control is a form of domestic abuse involving repeated patterns of behaviour – which can include physical, sexual, psychological, emotional or financial abuse, accompanied by threats of violence and the fear it causes, the cumulative effect of which is to rob victim-survivors of their autonomy and independence. The Department of Communities and Justice has released a discussion paper on coercive and controlling behaviour in the context of domestic and family violence in NSW. The discussion paper highlights key questions for any potential reform. - Publisher's website.
