How to use "Duress" in context?
The concepts of duress and coercion are murky at best. In general, duress is the forcible pressure used to compel someone to act against their will. Coercion, on the other hand, is the use of any means, including physical force, to induce someone to do something they do not want to do. In law, there is a distinction between direct and indirect force, depending on whether the pressure is exerted immediately upon the person or through some intermediary.
Both concepts can be used in criminal investigations to determine if a person has been coerced into committing a crime.
