SPEAKING & TRAINING
Most teaching on coercive control stops at domestic abuse. Kacey Baker, MSc, shows students and professionals how the same tactics also appear beyond these settings, in places such as cults, gangs, workplaces, sport and online communities, drawing on her research and more than 500 conversations with survivors and experts.
