Any crime that is perpetrated WITHOUT violence being used. HOWEVER - SOME cirmes (especially some felony offenses) are automatically "Crimes of Violence" because of the fear and danger they place their victims in, whether or not a violent action takes place or not.

∙ 14y agoThe traditional definition of non-violence may best be provided
by Jesus in Matthew 5: "That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall
smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also."
Both Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. implemented
this approach to violence in grand fashion, assembling large
gatherings of people in parades and marches, which were greeted
by police violence. When this violence came, they did not
respond violently, and many were injured.
The Dalai Lama in Tibet offers another example. When his
temples were being overrun by the Chinese army, he chose
to flee rather than fight to preserve them.
But there is another approach to the concept of non-violence.
This approach comes from the martial art Aikido, as I was
taught it.
I was taught that each person has a right to a sacred space
around their body. If someone goes to punch you, you have
a right to prevent them from hurting you.
Aikido teaches you to meet an incoming attack with enough
force to redirect and neutralize the attack, doing the least
amount of damage to *yourself*, those around you, and
the attacker as well. This takes tremendous skill, practice,
and awareness.
How does this differ from the "turn the other cheek" approach
to non-violence? If we apply Jesus' philosophy, and the
attacker hits us twice, we are allowing violence to occur:
to ourselves! Is this truly non-violent?
In the Aiki example, we are meeting forceful energy with
forceful energy, and if it is done skillfully, *no-one* will
be injured. One will dissolve the violent energy before
it has a chance to create pain.
Every time I see violence, two images flash through
my mind: the Dalai Lama, and the Aikido master.
It is never clear to me which is the most non-violent.
