0 h 41 m, 3 fev 2025 ano - Coercive Control to be Treated like other DA Offences

Descrição:

Offenders convicted of coercive or controlling behaviour now face tougher management from police and probation services in England and Wales, meaning the crime is "on a par" with other domestic abuse offences.

From Monday, those convicted of the crime and sentenced to 12 months or more will automatically be managed under multi-agency public protection arrangements (Mappa).

Under Mappa, the police, probation, prison services and other agencies are legally required to work together to better manage the risks posed by the offenders.

For the first time, it puts controlling or coercive behaviour on a par with other domestic abuse offences, including threats to kill and stalking, the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) said.
