Mark Colvin’s Differential Coercion Theory initially focused on coercion that arises through direct interpersonal relationships — such as family, school, and workplace interactions — rather than broader structural or societal forms of coercion.

So the statement:

“When talking about the effect of coercion upon crime, Colvin limited his theory to focus only on that coercion which exists as a result of direct interpersonal relationships.”
