This is basically all of human history, laws and being imprisoned - holding someone against their will counting as a more modern, refined form of violence, though necessary. But for that specific scenario, yes it is a bad idea for all sorts of reasons. But only because we're just a bunch of animals on a rock and we just can't seem to agree to play nice with each other. I blame evolution.
