Self-defense
Self-defense (or self-defence in some varieties of English) is a countermeasure that involves defending the health and well-being of oneself from harm. The use of the right of self-defense as a legal justification for the use of force in times of danger is available in many jurisdictions.
Legal Position[edit]
The legal position of self-defense varies considerably around the world. In many jurisdictions, the use of self-defense as a legal justification for the use of force is limited by a requirement of immediacy, while others have a much broader definition. Some jurisdictions allow the use of force in response to a non-immediate threat, while others require an immediate threat.
Types of Self-Defense[edit]
There are several types of self-defense, including physical self-defense, self-defense in law, and self-defense in mental health.
Physical Self-Defense[edit]
Physical self-defense is the use of physical force to counter an immediate threat of violence. This force can be either armed or unarmed.
Self-Defense in Law[edit]
In the legal context, self-defense is justified use of force by the defendant, who reasonably believes that they are in imminent danger.
Self-Defense in Mental Health[edit]
In the context of mental health, self-defense is a set of techniques used to cope with stressful and threatening situations.
