Author of the book Coercive Control in Children’s and Mothers’ Lives (Oxford University Press, 2022), and the blog Decoding Coercive Control with Dr Emma Katz (2022–23). Emma is a researcher in domestic violence and coercive control, whose work has influenced legislation and professional practice in the UK and globally. Her book Coercive Control in Children’s and Mothers’ Lives (2022, Oxford University Press) is influential and acclaimed, as is her expert academic blog Decoding Coercive Control with Dr Emma Katz which is read by thousands of subscribers around the world.
Emma’s research has illuminated children’s experiences of coercive control, which previously had been largely invisible. She argues that children are affected by many forms of abuse inherent to coercive control, including imprisonment, deprivation of resources, constrained behaviour and isolation from the outside world. Her research has been described as ‘pioneering work’ that ‘will change how we understand and respond to children’s experience of domestic abuse’ (Evan Stark, Professor Emeritus, Rutgers University).
