Requires State domestic violence public awareness campaign to add information on coercive control; requires annual reporting on activities of campaign and expands range of languages.
This bill expands New Jersey's existing domestic violence public awareness campaign to include information about recognizing "coercive control" - patterns of controlling behavior like isolating victims, monitoring communications, or threatening to report them to authorities. It requires the Division on Women (within the Department of Children and Families) to add this content to the campaign, expand language options beyond English and Spanish (as recommended by the Advisory Council), and provide annual reports on campaign activities. The campaign must cover causes, risk factors, prevention, and local victim services, with new materials specifically addressing coercive control indicators. This directly affects victims of domestic violence, service providers, and the public by enhancing educational resources and accessibility.
