Compel; violence (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

force

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'compel' is the first definition.
(I know that force is a type of compel)

'violence' is the second definition.
(I know that violence can be written as force)

(Other definitions for force that I've seen before include "Strength, power" , "Physical strength" , "Royal Air - -" , "Impel, coerce" , "Power; army" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
