Redefining domestic violence in France as a violation of human rights: coercive control

“…In the recent decades, a redefinition of domestic violence as domination and control rooted in structural gender inequality (UN, 1993) has become necessary (Roy and Rondeau, 1997). Two scientific models have been particularly remarkable in heterosexual couples, mostly known as related to Johnson's (1995) and Stark's (2007) work.…”

“…Domination is consensually a fundamental element in the contemporary definitions of domestic violence (Roy and Rondeau, 1997;Hamberger et al, 2017;Ronai and Durand, 2017). Indeed, increasing the power over the victims is the goal, the means and the consequence of the perpetrators' strategies (Hamberger et al, 2017).…”

“…Coercive control thus combines sometimes violent strategies but also other behaviours which, isolated from each other, are not necessarily violent or abusive, and which become so when they are cumulated (Stark, 2007;Muller-Lagarde and Gruev-Vintila, 2022). Physical violence may appear later if the perpetrator deems it necessary (Roy and Rondeau, 1997), for example if the victim shows resistance (Dobash and Dobash, 1984). These behaviours are part of a permanent spectre of control, and although the fungible nature of coercive control may suggest some interruptions during phases appearing like the honeymoon, those phases are also used by perpetrators to maintain control and to continue to invade the victims' spaces and further enforce the rules they have established (Stark, 2007;.…”

From this perspective, domestic violence is less about lacking self-control (Roy and Rondeau, 1997) and more about seeking control, combined with coercion to punish or compel the victim (Stark, 2007).…”

Le criminel tel qu’il est représenté et étudié dans la revue Criminologie entre 1968 et 2016

“…Les auteurs le désignent parfois de façon générique, soit comme « criminel » ou « délinquant » (six études, dont Fréchette, 1970 ;Lanctôt, Bernard et Le Blanc, 2002 ;Le Blanc, 1986). On fait parfois référence au crime commis, en spécifiant que l'étude portera sur le « délinquant économique » (Bacher, 2002), « l'agresseur sexuel » (Lussier, 2010 ;Pellerin et al, 1996 ;Pham, Debruyne et Kinappe, 1999), le « proxénète » (Savoie-Gargiso et , le « trafiquant de cocaïne » (Meeson et Morselli, 2012), des individus qui poursuivent des « activités criminelles lucratives » (Charest, 2004 ;Morselli et Tremblay, 2004 ;Robitaille, 2004), des auteurs de « vol à main armée » (Bellot, 1985) ou de « violence conjugale » (Roy et Rondeau, 1997). Le fait d'être reconnu coupable par la justice module parfois la façon dont le criminel est nommé, qu'il s'agisse, par exemple, du « multirécidiviste » (Pinsonneault, 1985), du « sursitaire » (F. Born, 2002 ;Koudou, 2009 ;Lanctôt, Bernard et Le Blanc, 2002 ;Lussier, 2010).…”
