Whois & Analysis for brightcloud.com

Coercion is the practice of forcing another party to act in an involuntary manner by use of intimidation or threats or some other form of pressure or force.

It involves a set of various types of forceful actions that violate the free will of an individual to induce a desired response, for example: a bully demanding lunch money from a student or the student gets beaten.

These actions can include, but are not limited to, extortion, blackmail, torture, threats to induce favors or even sexual assault.

In law, coercion is codified as a duress crime.

Such actions are used as leverage, to force the victim to act in a way contrary to their own interests.

Coercion may involve the actual infliction of physical pain/injury or psychological harm in order to enhance the credibility of a threat.

The threat of further harm may lead to the cooperation or obedience of the person being coerced.
