coercion

Hi Jilt,

The term "akaratot lenyűgöző erőszak" implies a type of aggression whereby the aggressor subdues / exerts their will or power over someone or something. I would suggest using the English equivalent "coercion." In legal terms, "duress crime."
The term "akaratot hajlító erőszak" would suggest that the aggressor bends someone to their will.
Example sentence:

is the practice of forcing another party to act in an involuntary manner (whether through action or inaction) by use of threats or intimidation or some other form of pressure or force. In law, coercion is codified as the duress crime.

volition captivating

The term “coercion” implies some form or level of physical or psychological violence, while the expression “lenyűgöz” rather refers to a non-violent way of overcoming a person’s free will, by enchanting or charming them (captivating).

vis absoluta = overwehlming force

A fenyegetés fogalmát a törvény értelmező rendelkezései határozzák meg: a fenyegetés olyan súlyos hátrány kilátásba helyezése, amely alkalmas arra, hogy a megfenyegetettben komoly félelmet keltsen [Btk. 138. §]. Kényszer alatt valamely személyre közvetlenül ható fizikai erő
kifejtését kell érteni [BK. 93.]. Mind a kényszer, mind a fenyegetés hatását tekintve lehet akaratot megtörő (ún. vis absoluta-ként ható), illetőleg akaratot hajlító (ún. vis compulsivaként ható), de a beszámítási képességet kizáró hatása csak az akaratot megtörő változatoknak
van. (Az akaratot hajlító kényszer/fenyegetés esetén elvárhatóságot kizáró ok hatályosul.)

vis absoluta (vis ab-sa-Ioo-ta). Physical compulsion.
"The difference is between compulsion of the will (vis
compulsiva) which results in an act though not of free
volition, and physical compulsion (vis absoluta) in which
the unavoidable movement is no act at all." Rollin M.
Perkins & Ronald N. Boyce, Criminal Law 1054-55 (3d
ed. 1982).
vis compulsiva (vis kom-pal-sI-va), n. [Latin
"compulsive force"] Hist. Force exerted to com­
pel another to do something involuntarily; me­
nacing force exerted by terror.

or:

As force becomes both vis absoluta (overwhelming force, which is above all physically caused) and vis compulsiva (bending force, which goes into the direction of a psychological obligation) understood. For the term of the force a ausufernde iurisdiction Federal Constitutional Court was provoked. The criminal pursuit of seat blockades was decisive, and the question whether bare passive blocking of roads, rails and entries already represents force opposite those, which want to use these ways.
