Define Intimidation in Australia

People often understand and define intimidation on a day-to-day basis as offensive behaviour or unpleasant interaction. But how do criminal laws in NSW define the crime of intimidation? The Crimes (Domestic and Personal Violence) Act 2007 (NSW) deals with Intimidation under criminal law.

Intimidation (noun) is the feeling of discouragement in the face of someone's superior fame, wealth, or status. Basically, intimidation refers to a party making a person, generally a weaker person feel afraid or timid; an emotion experienced in anticipation of some specific pain or danger. The term comes from the term used in medieval Latin (intimidare). This article discusses legal matters related to such offences.
