Psychologists use the term aggression to refer to any behaviour by one person/ persons that is intended to cause harm to another person/persons.

Here's why:

• Violence: While violence is a type of aggression involving physical harm, it doesn't encompass all forms of harmful behavior, which can also be verbal, emotional, or psychological.
• Forceful destructive behavior: This is too broad and doesn't necessarily imply intent to harm another person.
• Hostile aggression: This specifies a particular type of aggression, specifically motivated by hostility, whereas aggression can have various motivations.
