Join us for the first instalment of the Criminal Law Series 2021 brought to you by the Monash Transnational Criminal Law Group.
Recently, there have been calls to criminalise coercive control across Australia. Coercive control, a term used to describe the ongoing non-physical forms of domestic violence, has serious impacts on a victim and their ‘independence, well-being and safety. It is the most common risk factor leading up to an intimate partner homicide. This session will discuss coercive control, its impact and the criminal law challenges associated with addressing this form of domestic violence.
Speakers
Professor Heather Douglas, Melbourne Law School, The University of Melbourne
Professor Felicity Gerry QC, Libertas Chambers, London and Crockett Chambers, Melbourne, Professor of Legal Practice, Deakin University
Dr Marie Segrave, Associate Professor in Criminology, Monash Arts
Chair: Dr Natalia Antolak-Saper, Transnational Criminal Law Group, Monash Law
