How intimate partner violence (IPV) is conceptualized affects what we see when we look at situations involving IPV and what we think the solutions to the problem of IPV are—either in individual cases or in the development of broader legal and policy responses. In this article, it is suggested that while conceptualizing IPV as coercive control is an improvement over previous understandings, it does not go far enough. Coercive control must be located within a broader conceptualization of IPV as a form of social and systemic entrapment if it is not to operate in a harmful manner for victim-survivors.

"Since the Supreme Court’s landmark decision in R v Jordan, 2016 SCC 27, there has developed a complex new body of jurisprudence respecting how section 11(b) of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms is to be interpreted, and how the Jordan framework should be applied. A Proactive Practitioner’s Guide to Section 11(b) of the Charter provides a comprehensive and detailed review of the relevant caselaw, addressing issues including when section 11(b) is engaged, to what portion of proceedings the framework applies, how key concepts such as defence-caused delay and discrete exceptional circumstances are defined, how the impact of the pandemic has been accounted for, how section 11(b) is applied on sentencing, and considerations related to interlocutory proceedings and appeals. This guide provides both an examination of the caselaw relevant to these issues, and analysis and discussion related to outstanding questions yet to be settled by the courts. Accordingly, it will provide practitioners with ready answers, a foundation to pursue legal argument related to section 11(b) of the Charter, and with a roadmap to areas still open to be litigated."-- Provided by publisher.

The norm against overbreadth—a law should not be overbroad in relation to its own purposes—is well established as a principle of fundamental justice under section 7 of the Charter. But the Supreme Court of Canada’s case law contains two competing formulations of this norm. According to the strict version of the norm, a law is overbroad if it applies in even one (actual or hypothetical) case that is not directly necessary to the achievement of its purpose. According to the relaxed version of the norm, a law is overbroad only if it applies in cases beyond those that are reasonably neces-sary to its operation. The strict version of the norm is unworkable because it relies on two un-tenable assumptions: first, that a law is always an instrument for achieving a purpose that can be fully specified apart from the idea of legal order; second, that a law can be drafted and applied so that it never goes beyond that pur-pose. The result is that, on a proper application of the strict version of the norm, all laws are overbroad. The relaxed version of the norm shares the first assumption but not the second. With respect to those laws that are properly characterized as instrumental, it would be bet-ter to abandon the strict version of the norm and adopt the relaxed version
