|
| Self defense is difficult to prove or disprove as it is simply a matter of opinion and perception of a situation. In the United States and many other countries self defense allows anyone who is attacked to use reasonable physical force in their own defense and the defense of those they are protecting. Self defense can range anywhere from vocal force to deadly force, depending on the situation. There are rules and guidelines applied to how self defense can be used from a legal standpoint. Legal cases will make a distinction between physical force and deadly physical force. The victim may use physical force to prevent imminent injury if logically they feel threatened. Deadly force however, cannot be used on the attacker unless the victim is in reasonable fear of serious physical injury, or death.
