So two of these things aren't violence. One is threats and one is making people afraid.
Which are two of the scenarios that the protestors say the rape laws should be made to cover.

hersh@literature.cafe 11 months agoThis probably depends on jurisdiction. I also suspect “violence” in a legal sense is different from the everyday sense. I’m not a lawyer.
From the US FBI’s web site:
The FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program defines robbery as the taking or attempting to take anything of value from the care, custody, or control of a person or persons by force or threat of force or violence and/or by putting the victim in fear.

Yes I did gloss over the “threat of violence” part and just included it in general as “violence”.
