Reduction of something harmful or the reduction of its harmful effects
Mitigation is the reduction of something harmful that has occurred or the reduction of its harmful effects.[1] It may refer to measures taken to reduce the harmful effects of hazards that remain in potentia,[2] or to manage harmful incidents that have already occurred.[1] It is a stage or component of emergency management and of risk management.[2] The theory of mitigation is a frequently used element in criminal law and is often used by a judge to try cases such as murder, where a perpetrator is subject to varying degrees of responsibility as a result of one's actions.
