  • Blackmail is a criminal offense whereby a person tells another that he or she will disclose specific information not intended for disclosure, or engage in some act or omission that is undesired by the other—unless the other party renders something of value. The item of value, though commonly money, could be anything. [Source: Encyclopedia of Street Crime in America; Blackmail]
