How Coercion Works
Coercion means pressure, threats or control that make it difficult or unsafe for someone to say no.
You will learn to
- Identify several forms of coercive pressure.
- Explain how dependence can reduce meaningful choice.
- Recognise that control can be cumulative rather than one dramatic event.
Story context
Sarina’s account supplies the book anchor; a fictional week-in-the-life case then extends the analysis.
You do not need to own or have read the book. The lesson includes the context you need.
