Coercive Control

“Wondery is very good at covering true crime cases using this format of storytelling over a handful or two episodes with episode being very digestible in terms of content and length. As someone with a particular passion for understanding and improving how our society responds to domestic violence, there is a very real and urgent need to educate the public and the stakeholders about the element of coercive control as it is only very slowly making it’s way into legal discussions. The mainstream media in particular almost always fails to even mention the concept of coercive control even when covering crimes in which the element of coercive control is such a glaringly obvious and textbook feature that they could have presented perfect opportunities for the media to promote better public awareness of coercive control (the Gabby Petito case for example). There have been some exceptions (coverage of the Hannah Clarke case & a few others in Australia which have brought the element of coercive control as part of the domestic violence cycle to the attention of the wider community very effectively which has in turn led to actual legislation beginning to be rolled out to address coercive control in some Australian states, and in other states such legislation is currently underway. The response has been much quicker and clearer than tends to be the case with these sorts of things).
This podcast did a really good job of covering this perpetrator’s crimes and especially how effectively he used coercive control in committing them. Well done!!! The only thing I would have done differently would have been to introduce the concept of coercive control a little earlier and maybe to mention it a bit more regularly throughout, however the discussion at the end of the last episode was soooo fantastic and helpful. And every listener will have made it to that part given how well the early episodes were constructed, so I’m not mad lol. I’m still giving five stars and begging for more of this in the true crime podcast genre more generally.”
