COERCIVE CONTROL

Coercive control is the name given to a very old problem; one that has existed throughout the ages and is rampant in the modern world as well. Do your research and find out what it is and then suggest solutions. This writing task is a combination of a definition and a problem solution essay despite being listed under problem solution essays. In fact, it is very logical to describe the problem before moving on to solutions.
