Controlling or Coercive behaviour is a type of abuse

There is a law against it. It provides protection to victims experiencing repeated or continuous abuse.

The offence carries a maximum sentence of 5 years' imprisonment, a fine or both. If you or someone you know is in an abusive relationship, help is available.

Whether local or from outside the region, Devon and Cornwall police are encouraging those suffering from abuse to seek help, either directly from police or from one of the regional support agencies.

Friends and family who may suspect that someone they know is being abused can learn about the signs of abuse and to encourage victims to seek help. www.dc.police.uk/domesticabuselaw

Those who are experiencing coercive control may often feel:

• They are being controlled in everyday life with their movements dictated by another person. This includes where they can go, who they can see, what they can wear and when they can sleep • Repeatedly put down, leading to feelings of worthlessness • Humiliated, degraded or dehumanised • Threatened or intimidated • That their finances are being controlled • Isolating you from your support system, e.g. friends and family • Threatening you (sometimes physically) • Monitoring your time and your online life • Depriving you of basic needs, such as food, and of essential services such as medical attention.
