In fact, not everything becomes coercive control. We're really talking about the presence of behavioural patterns. An investigation would still be done. It's really by looking at the history and the context that we can see if, indeed, there's a repetition or a pattern of behaviour that's ongoing and that built up over time. The idea is not to qualify each individual gesture as coercive control. Rather, it's to look at the experiences of victims who have endured such a situation over a long period of time.
In fact, the presence of a broad and inclusive definition, accompanied by examples, would come to set parameters and facilitate the work of police officers and prosecutors in this process.
