Session Submission Summary

Stalking and Strangulation: Identifying Coercive Control Beyond Visible Injuries

Thu, Nov 17, 8:00 to 9:20am, M302, Marquis Level

Session Submission Type: Complete Thematic Panel

Abstract/Description

Stalking and non-fatal strangulation are two forms of coercive control that are often overlooked by officers when responding to complaints of domestic violence. This session is comprised of four studies that examine (1) the tactics stalking victims use to get perpetrators to stop; (2) what GEN Z considers to be ‘stalking’ and why they call the police; (3) how victims survive strangulation from an intimate partner; and (4) why a reliance on visible injuries creates racial disparities for survivors of non-fatal strangulation. Implications for research and practice will be discussed.
