Rafal,
If violence is the initiation of physical force why isn't deception
and threats in the same class? A threat depends on the potential of violence
to be effective. If I grab something of yours and refuse to give it up I
normally have to use threats to keep you from taking your property. I
threaten violence. Or I put you in a position where you can only repossess
your property by your using force.
But how would deception be connected to violence?
