Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The defense of duress would not be acceptable in the case of murder because it is considered one of the most serious crimes, and the value of human life is paramount. Duress is only acceptable in less serious crimes where there is a reasonable fear of harm or death to oneself or others. Destruction of property, theft, and burglary are examples of crimes where the defense of duress could be considered if the defendant can prove that they were forced to commit the crime under threat or coercion.
