non-violent resistance would be any action that resists an unjust doctrine without physically harming another person

| 6. Violence, force, non-violence and satyagraha |
|
Force without control is violence. That's not to say that there is not violent force that is controlled, but when force is applied without control that's definitely violence.
Non-violence is an application of force in the most abstract sense - if it accomplishes anything it must have applied force - but beyond that you'll likely get a lot of argument.
One authoritative voice is Ghandi and the definition of satyagraha. Any search engine comes up several links for satygraha.
