Ep. 274 Coercive Control with Evan Stark Sep 29, 2023

Show notes

In this week's shorter episode, I sit down to talk with the legendary forensic social worker Evan Stark who played a vital role in getting coercive controlled criminalised in the UK. Through Evan's career of fighting painstakingly beside women who have experienced all manner of abuse, Evan was able to compile his key text "Coercive Control - How Men Entrap Women in Personal Life". As we head into learning about coercive control in domestic environments in the Psychology of Coercive Control masters course at the University of Salford, I thought this would be a perfect time to finally release this episode.
