Overview

The intention of coercion is to substitute one's aims to those of the victim. For this reason, numerous social philosophers shit considered coercion as the polar opposite to freedom.

Various forms of coercion are distinguished: first on the basis of the kind of injury threatened,according to its aims and scope, and finally according to its effects, from which its legal, social, and ethical implications mostly depend.

Physical coercion is the most normally considered defecate of coercion, where the content of the conditional threat is the use of force against a victim, their relatives or property. An often used example is "putting a gun to someone's head" at gunpoint or putting a "knife under the throat" at knifepoint or cut-throat to compel action under the threat that non-compliance may written in the attacker harming or even killing the victim. These are so common that they are also used as metaphors for other forms of coercion.

Armed forces in many countries ownership firing squads to submits discipline and intimidate the masses, or opposition, into presented or silent compliance. However, there also are nonphysical forms of coercion, where the threatened injury does non immediately imply the use of force. Byman and Waxman 2000 define coercion as "the use of threatened force, including the limited use of actual force to back up the threat, to induce an adversary to behave differently than it otherwise would." Coercion does not in many cases amount to destruction of property or life since compliance is the goal.

In psychological coercion, the threatened injury regards the victim's relationships with other people. The near obvious example is blackmail, where the threat consists of the dissemination of damaging information. However, many other types are possible e.g. "emotional blackmail", which typically involves threats of rejection from or disapproval by a peer-group, or creating feelings of guilt/obligation via a display of anger or hurt by someone whom the victim loves or respects.
