The act of self-defense is the utilization of reasonable force to defend oneself from an aggressor or attacker. It protects a person from criminal liability for the harm inflicted on the attacker. For instance, a robbery victim who uses the robber's weapon against the robber during a struggle will not be liable for assault & battery as he can shows that his action was reasonably necessary to protect himself from the imminent harm.

There are many points to be taken into consideration when choosing self-defense to defend oneself. For instance, "the use of force", termed as legal in self-defense is only justified "when a person reasonably believes that it is necessary for the defense of oneself or other against the immediate use of unlawful force". It is very necessary to consider the use of force when necessary.

You must always remember that use of force that may cause death or great amount of physical injury will only be justified in case a person is convinced about the dire necessity of the force to prevent death or great bodily harm.

The following points must be taken in to consideration when using the right to protect one's person & property from injury or damage.

• The extent of the right of self-defense.

• By whom it may be exercised.

Whenever threatened it is an obligation of a victim to take every possible precaution to escape or prevent the attack. For instance you can prevent a possible attack by closing a door which was left open thus avoiding an attack. It is only natural to defend yourself when attacked.
