Abstract

The current policy, legal, and criminal justice response to partner abuse is based on a “violent incident model” that equates abuse with discrete assaults and gauges severity by the degree of injury inflicted or threatened. Although application of this model by police has reduced serious and fatal partner violence, it has not significantly improved the long-term prospects of battered women. This article argues that the limited effectiveness of the criminal justice response stems less from failures in policing than from a large gap that separates the violent incident model guiding the current response from the pattern of coercive control that drives most victims to seek police or other outside assistance. This article identifies the flawed assumptions that underlie the violent incident model, shows why application of this model by law enforcement has failed abused women, describes the pattern of coercive control research shows to be typical of abusive relationships, and outlines how adapting the coercive control model would improve the police response.

  • The conflation of abuse and violence, particularly in the criminal justice sector, does not adequately recognise that ongoing patterns of abuse and less visible forms of violence are distinct from and arguably equally or more harmful than individual acts of physical or sexual violence.

    “This is partly due to the conflation of abuse and violence, particularly in the criminal justice sector (Stark, 2012).Such conflation does not adequately recognise that ongoing patterns of abuse and less visible forms of violence are distinct from and arguably equally or more harmful than individual acts of physical or sexual violence (Stark, 2006(Stark, , 2012)).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
