defensive-force justification

Read a random definition: specialty contract

A quick definition of defensive-force justification:

Defensive-Force Justification: When someone uses force to defend themselves, others, or property from harm or danger, it can be considered a lawful reason for their actions. This is known as defensive-force justification. It is a type of defense that can be used in court to show that the person's actions were necessary to prevent harm and that the harm they prevented was greater than any harm caused by their actions. Other types of justification defenses include imperfect justification, judicial-authority justification, and public-authority justification.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Defensive-force justification is a type of justification defense available when an aggressor has threatened harm to the particular interest that is the subject of the defense. This defense is usually used for self-defense, defense of others, or defense of property. It is a lawful or sufficient reason for one's acts or omissions that prevents an act from being wrongful.

Example: If someone breaks into your house and threatens to harm you or your family, you may use defensive-force justification to protect yourself and your loved ones. This defense allows you to use reasonable force to defend yourself and your property without being charged with a crime.

Explanation: The example illustrates how defensive-force justification can be used in a real-life situation. In this case, the person is justified in using force to defend themselves and their property because they are being threatened by an aggressor. This defense is only available if the force used is reasonable and necessary to protect oneself or others from harm.
