Extortion
Extortion occurs when someone wants
something from you and threatens to harm your person,
family or property unless you give him what he
wants. If someone demands that you pay him $10,000
or he will burn down your house, you are being
extorted. It is different from robbery because the
threat is of harm in the future, whereas robbery is the
threat of immediate harm if you do not give someone what
they want (usually your wallet). Blackmail
is a form of extortion, and some people consider having to
pay taxes a form of extortion by the government.
