Summary: "If a situation of coercive control was a political system, it would be a dictatorship. The coercive control perpetrator is the dictator. Dictators, able to behave with deceptive politeness on the international stage, are defined by their cruel, ruthless, and paranoid tyranny over their own people. Domestic opposition is usually banned. Contact with people from other countries is heavily restricted. Citizens are likely to be under constant surveillance. Compliance is instilled through terror and threat of punishment. In other words, life with a coercive control perpetrator is like living under one of the most oppressive governments on Earth. And there are millions of these mini dictatorships happening right now on ordinary streets. Quite probably (if you live on one), on your street too"-- Provided by publisher.
