Dan Cargill, director of Law Enforcement Services for Connecticut Coalition Against Domestic Violence says beginning on Thursday any offender who violates a restraining or protective order will face an additional family violence crime charge.
“It’s a benefit to be able to track through a judicial process of what the offender is actually doing and tying it all with the family violence,” Cargill said.
Coercive control will also become a factor for judges to consider when reviewing restraining order applications. It’s defined in part as controlling, regulating or monitoring a household or family member’s movements, communications, daily behavior and economic necessities or isolating them from family or loved ones.
