In premeditated acts of aggression, you have two choices: you can either acquiesce to your aggressor’s demands or you can resist them—that is, fight. If a mugger wants your wallet, you can give it to them, or you can attempt to deal with them physically; trying to talk them out of mugging you is not an option. Because an aggressor in a spontaneous act of violence doesn’t come to a situation with a particular outcome in mind, you will in all likelihood have the opportunity to present other non-violent solutions and alternatives. If you have inadvertently spilled a drink on someone, they won’t know what will make the situation right for them; they may feel in the moment that they have no alternatives but to act violently against you. If the option is presented in the right way, however, they may come to accept that other non-violent routes are open to them, such as accepting a replacement drink from you, having you pay for their dry cleaning, etc.

The only way an aggressive individual will be able to consider these alternatives to violence is if their high and volatile emotional state can be reduced, so that they are able to consider non-violent solutions to the situation. This is the goal and purpose of the de-escalation process.
