	Intimidation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Intimidation, therefore, is the crime that should be punished as "(the crime of) intimidation".
		Intimidation is a criminal attempt to threat by speaking or acting in a dominating manner, often with the goal of making a person or people do what the intimidator wants.
		Intimidation may be employed consciously or unconsciously, and a percentage of people who employ it consciously may do so as the result of selfishly rationalized notions of its appropriation, utility or self-empowerment.

		Less common forms of intimidation that prosecutors and police reported include economic threats (in domestic violence or fraud cases) and threats concerning the custody of children, deportation, and the withholding of drugs from an addicted victim or witness or from addicted members of the person's family.
		Primary actors in victim and witness intimidation Interviews with prosecutors, police officers, and working group members pointed to the types of individuals who most commonly intimidate victims and witnesses: the defendant, his or her family, gang members (where the crime is gang-related), and non-gang friends and associates of the defendant.
		However, in cases involving communitywide intimidation, intimidation begins the moment the victim or witness is aware that the crime is gang- or drug-related.

		Most governments do not want to openly act against a free press, and various forms of informal and unofficial forms of intimidation and violence operate in the stead of a public policy.

		To combat witness intimidation effectively, you must combine the basic facts with a more specific understanding of your local problem.
		Intimidation can occur at any time, from the point when a criminal incident first occurs to the moment the witness provides evidence in court; hence, it is essential to collaborate with prosecutors, victim advocates, and other stakeholders in analyzing and solving the problem.
		Because many witnesses drop out of the process before their cases go to court, it is essential to survey witnesses and victims at multiple points in the process so that their responses address all the reasons and issues that deter them from cooperating fully.
