A serious or significant threat will often qualify as a menace, even if the threat itself does not affect the victim. The term “menaces ” is not defined in the relevant legislation but should be understood as having its ordinary meaning in the English language. Spoken or written demands do not need to be received by the victim they will be considered “made ” for the purposes of establishing this element of the offence as soon as they are addressed to the victim, whether received or not. The demand does not need to be communicated in words it can be conveyed by an individual ’s demeanour provided that the effect is to subject the victim to menacing pressure. However, this is one of many ways that the offence of blackmail can be committed.Ī “demand ” can be a request for something or an offer of something (for example protection). Most commonly, blackmail involves a request for money coupled by a threat to do something against the victim ’s interests if they don ’t pay (for example, a threat to expose harmful information about the victim – whether this be true or false information). The offence of blackmail is committed when a person makes an unwarranted demand with menaces with a view to gain for themselves or another or intending to cause loss to another. Although there are a lot of similarities between the two crimes, and the sentencing guidelines are the same for both offences, extortion and blackmail describe two different acts.
