Listen "Coercive control"
Episode Synopsis
The Diddy trial came to a close this week, with the jury delivering a mixed verdict. Combs was found not guilty on the more serious charges of racketeering and sex trafficking, but was found guilty on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. During the trial, the judge ruled the prosecutor's expert witness couldn't use the term "coercive control." To help us understand what this form of abuse looks like, Just Asking spoke to two experts. Pamela Cross is a feminist lawyer and a member of Ontario’s Domestic Violence Death Review Committee. She is also the author of the book, And Sometimes They Kill You: Confronting the Epidemic of Intimate Partner Violence. Carrie McManus is the Director of Innovation and Programs at Sagesse, which is a Domestic Violence Prevention Society in Calgary.
