Not to appeal to authority, but because I think it's useful, here's how the WHO defines it according to Wikipedia:

> the intentional use of physical force or power, threatened or actual, against oneself, another person, or against a group or community, which either results in or has a high likelihood of resulting in injury, death, psychological harm, maldevelopment, or deprivation

Note words such as "power", "psychological harm" "maldevelopment" "deprivation".
