Editing Death threat

A '''death threat''' is a threat made by an individual or a group, mostly [[Bullying|bullies]], to harass a target. It is often used to intimidate the victim, either to try to murder them or to manipulate them into [[Bullycide|killing themselves]].

In most jurisdictions, death threats are a serious type of criminal offence. Death threats are often covered by coercion statutes. Despite this, death threateners tend to believe that death threats are still part of freedom of speech.

== Methods ==
Death threats are often made in social sites, and thus may count as [[cyberbullying]], but they are also communicated through a wide range of media, among these letters, newspaper publications, telephone calls and e-mail. Some threats are directed towards a political figure, as was the case with [[QAnon]], which can also be counted as treason in that case. Death threats can also be used against location figures like a building, to incite a terrorist attack against them, as was the case with the [[2021 United States Capitol storming|capitol insurrection]].
