Bill overview
This bill amends New Jersey law to require additional training for judges and law enforcement officers on coercive control within domestic violence training programs. Currently, training focuses on general domestic violence issues, but this legislation specifically mandates instruction on recognizing and addressing coercive control, as defined by statute. The goal is to improve the identification and response to abusive behaviors that go beyond physical violence. This will also include training on the impact of domestic violence on children and trauma-informed approaches.
