coercion

Read a random definition: commencement of infringement

A quick definition of coercion:

Coercion is when someone forces another person to do something they don't want to do. This can happen when someone threatens to hurt or harm another person if they don't do what they want. It can also happen when someone uses their power or money to make someone else do something they don't want to do. Coercion is not okay and can be against the law. For example, if someone is forced to sign a document or get married, it may not be legal because it was done under coercion.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Coercion is when someone uses physical force or threats to make someone else do something they don't want to do. It can also refer to the improper use of economic power to force someone to do something.

Example: If someone threatens to hurt you if you don't give them your money, that is coercion. It is also coercion if a boss threatens to fire an employee if they don't work overtime without pay.

Coercion can also refer to a historical practice where husbands had control over their wives' actions. If a wife committed a crime in her husband's presence, she was presumed to have been coerced by him. This practice has been abolished.

Related terms: Criminal coercion, implied coercion, moral coercion, economic coercion, doctrine of coercion.

Feeling like sad drinking tonight, wife accidentally tossed out my truck keys and those are expensive as fuck to replace. The crappiest part is that the key chain had the "remove before flight" tab from my first aircraft's rocket pods overseas from 6 years ago. Then find out people fucked around and back dated reports at work making me look like a shit bag so I am working later tonight and missing range time which is my weekly relax/me time. Add in my sleep meds stopped working, so I am thinking vodka (so I stay skinny and hot) and pizza by the fireplace kind of friday.
