English-Italian translations for duress

• violenza
  Il concetto di violenza viene definito in modo più preciso, in quanto per violenza si intende qualunque forma di esercizio o abuso di potere, lesioni o costrizione. The term violence is defined more precisely here, as violence can mean any type of exercise or abuse of power, injury or duress.
  Ad esempio, i minori e coloro che hanno commesso reati sotto minaccia di violenza fisica non dovrebbero essere soggetti alle stesse sanzioni degli altri trasgressori. For example, minors and those who have committed offences under physical duress, should clearly not be subject to the same penalties as all offenders.
