Bill overview
This bill aims to improve responses to domestic violence by requiring training for New Jersey judges and law enforcement officers on coercive control. Currently, training focuses on general domestic violence, but this legislation mandates specific instruction on recognizing and understanding coercive control tactics, as defined by state law. The goal is to better equip professionals to identify and address these often-hidden forms of abuse, ultimately protecting victims and ensuring appropriate legal action.
