What Is The Crime Of Force?
The crime of coercion is committed by forcing a person to perform a certain act by using physical force. Although the crime of coercion is regulated among the “Crimes Against Liberty” in Article 108 of the TPC, it is also accepted as a qualified form of the crime of injury.
The legal benefit protected by the crime of coercion is the inviolability of the body and the person’s freedom of decision-making and movement. Because, the person is asked to do or not to do something by violating the integrity of the body.
