QUÉ SIGNIFICA DURESS EN INGLÉS

Coacción

Duress

En la jurisprudencia, la coacción o coerción se refiere a una situación en la cual una persona realiza un acto como resultado de violencia, amenaza u otra presión contra la persona. Black's Law Dictionary define la coacción como "cualquier amenaza o coerción ilegal usada ... para inducir a otro a actuar de una manera que de otro modo no lo haría". La coacción es la presión ejercida sobre una persona para coaccionar a esa persona para que realice un acto que él o ella no haría normalmente. La noción de coacción debe distinguirse tanto de la influencia indebida en el derecho civil como de la necesidad. La coacción tiene dos aspectos. Una de ellas es que niega el consentimiento de la persona a un acto, como la actividad sexual o la celebración de un contrato; O, en segundo lugar, como posible defensa legal o justificación de un acto de otro modo ilícito. Un acusado que utiliza la defensa de la coacción admite violar la ley, pero afirma que no es responsable porque, a pesar de que el acto violó la ley, sólo se llevó a cabo debido a la extrema presión ilegal. En el derecho penal, una defensa contra la coacción es similar a una declaración de culpabilidad, admitiendo culpabilidad parcial, de modo que si la defensa no es aceptada entonces el acto criminal es admitido.

In jurisprudence, duress or coercion refers to a situation whereby a person performs an act as a result of violence, threat or other pressure against the person. Black's Law Dictionary defines duress as "any unlawful threat or coercion used... to induce another to act in a manner otherwise would not ". Duress is pressure exerted upon a person to coerce that person to perform an act that he or she ordinarily would not perform. The notion of duress must be distinguished both from undue influence in the civil law and from necessity. Duress has two aspects. One is that it negates the person's consent to an act, such as sexual activity or the entering into a contract; or, secondly, as a possible legal defense or justification to an otherwise unlawful act. A defendant utilizing the duress defense admits to breaking the law, but claims that he/she is not liable because, even though the act broke the law, it was only performed because of extreme unlawful pressure. In criminal law, a duress defense is similar to a plea of guilty, admitting partial culpability, so that if the defense is not accepted then the criminal act is admitted.
