This study compares legal cultures and underlying assumptions about privacy, personal autonomy, and justifications for state intervention in individual behavior through criminal law, focusing primarily on England, Wales, and continental Europe.

This book considers how a phenomenon as complex as coercive control can be criminalised. The recognition and ensuing criminalisation of coercive control in the UK and Ireland has been the focus of considerable international attention.

In particular, it defines coercive control and explains why using traditional criminal law approaches to prosecute it does not work. Laws passed in England and Wales versus Scotland represent two different approaches to translating coercive control into a criminal offence. This volume explains ...
