Laura Richards is a Criminal Behavioral Analyst.

I particularly like what she has to say about Stalking and Coercive Control.

The drip, drip drip of stalking can make someone feel upset, anxious or scared.

Stalking is an intrusive, obsession behaviour that violates personal boundaries.

Coercive Control is a hidden form of abuse that chips away at confidence and autonomy. It is about power and control.
