How Killers Control Women: What is Coercive Control?

You might think it’s unlikely you could fall prey to a master manipulator. But how easy is it for someone to use coercive control to take you from independent-thinker to puppet? Phelps is joined by Laura Richards (Criminal Minds, Dirty John, Real Crime Profile podcast), expert on domestic violence, stalking & sexual violence, to discuss just how easy it is to manipulate a person–with Phelps even sharing his own experience with coercive control. From Sarah Everard’s killer to NXIVM’s Keith Raniere to bad boyfriends everywhere, they share what you need to know to keep yourself and your loved ones safe.* *This episode includes producer Cristina Everett, who no longer works on the show.       Hosted on Acast.
