Coercive control is a psychological type of domestic abuse where the perpetrator uses threats, humiliation and intimidation to harm and frighten the victim.

It has been a criminal offence in the UK since 2015 and is now treated like other domestic abuse offences.

From Monday , offenders convicted of the crime will automatically be managed under multi-agency public protection arrangements ( Mappa ).
