The threat of physical force to exploit others may be in the form of: police brutality; demonstrations; thuggery and juvenile delinquence; 'protection' tactics used by organized crime; terrorism and guerrilla tactics; various kinds of torture; or the maintenance of a large standing army, police corps or other group based on the use of force.

Incidence

During the late 1980s and early 1990s there were numerous reports of Israeli army intimidation of Palestinians living in the occupied West Bank.
