force

Read a random definition: MMBTU

A quick definition of force:

Force: Force is when someone uses power, violence, or pressure against a person or thing. There are different types of force, like actual force which is a physical act of violence, or constructive force which is using threats or intimidation to control someone. Deadly force is when someone uses violence that could cause serious harm or death, and reasonable force is when someone uses only the amount of force necessary to protect themselves or their property. Unlawful force is when someone uses force against another person without their permission, which is a crime or a legal wrong.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Power, violence, or pressure directed against a person or thing.

Examples:

  • Actual force: A robber physically attacking a victim to steal their belongings.
  • Constructive force: A robber threatening a victim with a weapon to gain control of their belongings.
  • Deadly force: A person using violent action that could cause death or serious bodily harm in self-defense against another's deadly force.
  • Reasonable force: A person using force that is not excessive and appropriate for protecting themselves or their property.
  • Unlawful force: A person directing force against another without their consent, which is a criminal offense or an actionable tort.

The examples illustrate different types of force and how they can be used or directed against a person or thing. Actual force involves physical violence, while constructive force involves threats and intimidation. Deadly force is a violent action that could cause serious harm, and reasonable force is appropriate for self-defense or protecting property. Unlawful force is directed against a person without their consent and is a criminal offense or actionable tort.
