- jes 13y agoWith respect, I think attagart has a valid point. Violence can also be confining someone to a jail cell, or confiscating (taking without voluntary consent) some or all of their property (e.g., imposing a fine on a person) Your modern Australian courts must do this, to compel compliance with their decisions.
