Coercion and Threats include which actions?

• A. Stalking, harassment, assault, strangulation
• B. Providing emotional support
• C. Negotiation
• D. Counseling

Answer: (A)

Coercion and threats rely on actions that try to control or intimidate someone through fear or force. Stalking, harassment, assault, and strangulation fit this pattern because they involve persistent pursuit or contact to intimidate, repeated unwanted conduct that causes fear or distress, intentional physical harm or the threat of harm, and extreme violence used to dominate another person. These behaviors are aimed at shaping the other person’s choices or actions through fear, power, and harm. In contrast, providing emotional support, negotiation, or counseling are constructive, non-threatening ways to help or resolve conflicts and do not seek to control or intimidate the other person.
