As a criminal offence, blackmail is defined in various ways in common law jurisdictions. In the United States, blackmail is generally defined as a crime of information, involving a threat to do something that would cause a person to suffer embarrassment or financial loss.[1] By contrast, in the Commonwealth its definition is wider: for example the laws of England and Wales and Northern Ireland state that:
In popular culture, 'blackmail' involves a threat to reveal or publicize either substantially true or false information about a person or people unless certain demands are met. It is often damaging information, and it may be revealed to family members or associates rather than to the general public.

Acts of blackmail can also involve using threats of physical, mental or emotional harm, or of criminal prosecution, against the victim or someone close to the victim.[4][5] It is normally carried out for personal gain, most commonly of position, money, or property.[4][6][7][8]
Blackmail may also be considered a form of extortion.[4] Although the two are generally synonymous, extortion is the taking of personal property by threat of future harm.[9] Blackmail is the use of threat to prevent another from engaging in a lawful occupation and writing libelous letters or letters that provoke a breach of the peace, as well as use of intimidation for purposes of collecting an unpaid debt.[10]
In many jurisdictions, blackmail is a statutory offense, often criminal, carrying punitive sanctions for convicted perpetrators. Blackmail is the name of a statutory offense in the United States, England and Wales, and Australia,[11] and has been used as a convenient way of referring to certain other offenses, but was not a term used in English law until 1968.[12]
Blackmail was originally a term from the Scottish Borders meaning payments rendered in exchange for protection from thieves and marauders.[6][10][13] The "mail" part of blackmail derives from Middle English male meaning "rent or tribute".[14] This tribute (male or reditus) was paid in goods or labour ("nigri"); hence reditus nigri, or "blackmail".
The word blackmail is variously derived from the word for mailing (in modern terms, protection racket) paid by English and Scottish border dwellers to Border Reivers in return for immunity from raids and other harassment. The "mail" part of blackmail derives from Middle English male, "rent, tribute".[14] This tribute was paid in goods or labour (reditus nigri, or "blackmail"); the opposite is blanche firmes or reditus albi, or "white rent" (denoting payment by silver). An alternative version is that rents in the Scottish Borders were often paid in produce of the land, called "greenmail"[citation needed] ('green rent'), suggesting "blackmail" as a counterpart paid perforce to the reivers. Alternatively, Mackay[obsolete source] derives it from two Scottish Gaelic words blathaich pronounced (the th silent) bla-ich (to protect) and mal (tribute, payment), cf. buttock mail. He notes that the practice was common in the Scottish Highlands as well as the Borders.[15] In the Irish language, the term cos dubh, meaning "black rent", was used for similar exactions.
Some scholars have argued that blackmail should not be a crime.[16][17][18][19] Objections to the criminalization of blackmail often rest on what legal scholars call "the paradox of blackmail": it takes two separate actions that, in many cases, people are legally and morally entitled to do, and criminalizes them if done together. One American legal scholar uses the example of a person who threatens to expose a criminal act unless he is paid money. The person has committed the crime of blackmail, even though he separately has the legal right both to threaten to expose a crime and to request money from a person.[20]
Sextortion the rise of social media blackmail has been observed, which is popular among individuals deemed to hold power or authority in fields like politics, education, and the workplace. Sextortion, constituting a form of blackmail, is employed to exploit this power and coerce victims into providing sexual favors or explicit images in exchange for desired outcomes such as job security or academic advancement. A common instance of this is webcam blackmail/ Snapchat[21]/ Whatsapp and other Social media platforms.
"Criminals might befriend victims online by using a fake identity and then persuade them to perform sexual acts in front of their webcam, often by using an attractive woman to entice the victim to participate. These women may have been coerced into these actions using financial incentives or threats." As reported by the NCA (National Crime Agency), both men and women can be victims of this crime. This crime can be carried out by either crime groups or individuals.[22]
Dubai Police in the UAE stated that there have been 2,606 crimes that involve blackmail in the past three years.[when?] The reason it is so easy to commit these crimes online is the anonymity the internet gives. It is far easier to commit crimes with anonymity. The ability to be anonymous encourages antisocial tendencies and the ability to spread fake news.[23] The frequency of cybercrime is astonishing. In 2023 alone, an estimated 33 billion accounts are expected to be breached,[24] translating to approximately 2,328 cybercrimes per day or 97 victims every hour. This indicates that cybercriminals are relentless in their pursuit of targets. As of 2007, hacker attacks occurred every 39 seconds on average.[24]
Read that passage again. Slowly. Absorbing every word. It is solid gold from a wise pastor. I, too, have seen emotional blackmail often in my three decades of ministry. It was present in the early days of our church plant and 25 years later. It was present in visitors, individual believers, marriages, and even in leadership.
He goes on to write of observing a young boy who fell off his bike several houses away from his home. The boy started to cry but quickly stopped. He picked up his bike and walked in silence to his house. When he had stepped on his porch he began to wail in pain. Clearly, he had concluded that crying half a block from home was a waste of tears.
Current or past suffering gives the hurting person power. Christians will run to help, make time in their schedule, and release the person from expectations that everyone else has. Truly hurting people do need time in a spiritual hospital. But hospitals know that their goal is to get the patient back on their feet as soon as possible, not to create a permanently dependent person.
And when the inevitable conflicts occur, our memories can sabotage us. They can prevent us from doing the normal, day-to-day work of repentance and forgiveness and extending grace that is so crucial to making progress in our marriages. The reason is that our woundedness makes us self-absorbed.
Keller counsels dealing gently, with affirmation, all the while helping people understand that there is more to the story. The self-absorption is preventing the repentance and forgiveness that is so crucial to healthy relationships.
Harvey writes of four different characteristics: personal irresponsibility to appropriate roles and relationships, victim-centeredness, a declaration of independence from any commitments, and the threat of flight or leaving the relationship.
The purpose of this post is not at all to discount the real mistreatment at the hands of others. But it is to warn that caring for the wounded requires unpacking how self-centeredness distorts self-perception. And it is to warn those tender-hearted individuals within the church of this danger.
I have seen this manifest itself in two ways. In the church I pastored, tender-hearted people started a ministry to help a self-absorbed person who was supposed to have cancer. I say supposedly because the symptoms never appeared and no one could talk with her doctor. But the tender-hearted had started a campaign to help her that had the momentum of a locomotive.
Our country is awash in an ocean of victimhood. As long as there is sin there will be wounds The church can and should care for wounded people. But a good desire to help the hurting can morph into empowering the self-absorbed.
This is a subtle temptation in the church. Awareness and education are key. As the Spirit of God works in a person, they move from self-absorption to self-forgetfulness, from ashes to beauty, from mourning to joy, to become an oak of righteousness that glorifies the Lord.
I have received an email in my junk folder which has an old password of mine which means they have accused my computer at some stage also may have seen my contacts and they are associating me with a porn website , They are demanding money to clear .They have other info about me and I don't know what to do . Can anyone please advise me as I am very worried.
Hi Stedman, Yes I know it goes on but I have no flattering or unflattering photo's for them to blackmail me with. Who would want a picture of a 75 year old dinassour? In the email they mentioned a scan of me. I do remember a few years ago while browsing the web I suddenly had laser beams shining through the camera and wondered if it was related. How would they get that?
As with all such emails, do not interact with the message or the sender. They have not had access to your computer, instead the passwords were stolen as part of a data breach at any of several websites that have been hacked over the years (Facebook, yahoo, LinkedIn, etc).
As steadman1 said, it's a scam, disregard it. They got the password in a data breach of a website that you use the password on, go to the site(s) that you use that password on and change it if that concerns you. Do not under any circumstances interact with the scammers.
A while ago I used the word blackmail in a situation, just to learn that the word didn't fit. I am left wondering whether there is a better choice. I probably have to explain the situation (I'll try to keep it short).
