PICTURE the scene – you’re in a relationship where you’re being told who you can and can’t talk to. Your partner has control of your money, your contact with your family, you’re told what to wear, or that everything you do is terrible or embarrassing. These are some of the traits of coercive and controlling behaviour, of which Essex Police investigate hundreds of cases, with more than 400 in 2020 alone. However, just 22 of those cases resulted in someone being charged or summonsed to court. Around 86 per cent of cases were dropped due to difficulties in gathering evidence. Abusers who admit or are convicted of controlling and coercive behaviour on their partners can be jailed for five years, for behaviour such as isolating them, exploiting them financially, depriving them of basic needs, humiliating or threatening them.
