Theories of coercion exist across multiple disciplines to explicate the ability of one actor, the coercer, to diminish the free will of another, the coercee, in the absence of overt physical force.

During a recent visit to Washington, my daughter Leonora told me the story of P., a 15-year-old boy from a small town in Africa, who worked for hours on end in a gravel pit with hundreds of other children, extracting gravel, constantly in physical danger, subsisting on manioc flour or maize with chili peppers; without shelter and suffering constant pain and hunger pangs.
