Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

False imprisonment need not involve physical confinement, but can also include psychological or emotional confinement. It also does not necessarily need to be violent or involve the use of force. However, it must be intentional and unjustified, meaning the person being detained has not committed a crime or there is no legal basis for their detention. The reasonableness of the detention is not the determining factor for false imprisonment.
