Anti-Extortion Laws

Anti-extortion laws are regulations designed to prevent and penalize the act of obtaining money, services, or goods through threats or coercion. Extortion occurs when someone uses intimidation, fear, or force to influence another person into giving in to their demands. These laws aim to protect individuals and businesses from being bullied or pressured into compliance, ensuring that agreements are made freely and voluntarily. Violating these laws can lead to severe penalties, including fines and imprisonment, as societies seek to create safe environments for economic and personal interactions.
