New California Law Recognizes Coercive Control as Form of Domestic Violence
Posted on
Despite California Courts recognizing the concept of coercive control, there was no actual statutory prohibition against this form of domestic abuse. That changed in September 2020 when the Governor of California signed a bill into law clarifying the state’s Domestic Violence Prevention Act that coercive control constitutes a form of domestic abuse.
Specifically, the law amends Section 6320 of the Family Code so that “disturbing the peace of the other party” (which is grounds to obtain a DV Restraining order) includes coercive control. The California legislature unequivocally recognized that actions that result in the destruction of “mental or emotional calm” of a victim is a form of domestic abuse, even when there is no act of physical violence.

When the mathematical theory of plasticity was first introduced to civil engineers in the 1950s under the leadership of William Prager of Brown University, the topic was taught in the applied mathematics department with tensor notations that were hardly readable and understandable for most civil engineers. In this period, the classical incremental plasticity theory was in its golden time, but our computing capability in engineering practice was in its infancy. We had a rigorous theory but few practical solutions.
