What is the difference between assault and battery?
Q. From what I can find on the Internet, it looks like assault and battery are pretty much the same thing. In the United States, is there a significant difference between assault and battery?
Asked by Joe - Wed Sep 3 17:48:06 2008 - - 6 Answers - 1 Comments
A. Assault is a threat of physical harm. Battery is actual physical harm and there is always assault if there is battery. Example: someone raises a fist and says "I'm gonna knock your teeth out." That would be assault, but not battery since they never actually hit you. But if someone walks up and punches you in the face, its battery. It is considered assault the moment they make a fist and raise it, so by definition, there is always assault when there is battery. Assault with a deadly weapon is a more extreme charge. It would be a case where there was a threat involving anything that could be potentially deadly. For example if someone threatened you with a knife or a gun, it would be assault with a deadly weapon. If someone commits… [cont.]

Is it ethical to file assault charges against a 13 year old with no prior history of violence?
Q. My son was in a fight at school and the other boy busted his front tooth. It will cost several thousand dollars to repair.

What is the difference between the types of Assault? What makes one a misdemeanor vs felony?
Q. If there was no conventional weapon, but a blunt object was used. The victim was also struck in the head from behind. Doctors confirmed injury was from a blunt object, not a fist. The offender was intoxicated and probably did not "intend" to do great bodily harm. If anyone had to guess - what type of assault would this be classified as? Also, when police arrived - the offender was not charged or arrested. Are they waiting to have all the evidence from the hospital, witness statements and talk to the D.A. first?

Are there statistics as to what percentage of men will sexually assault a woman?
Q. We've all heard plenty of statistics about the number of women that will be sexually assaulted in their lifetime. It's difficult to estimate, I know, but apparently one out of every ten women will be raped and one out of every four women will be sexually assaulted in some manner. There is less data, or scientific estimation, as to how many men will commit a sexual crime (first, second, or third degree) in their lifetime. Does anyone know the statistics on that? What percentage of men will be rapists? What percentage will commit sexual assault?

A. i don't know about that. interesting question. i wonder how many of the ones that do it a "first time" fallback into that pattern the first time they get a chance? sometimes the prison system fails to rehabilitate these things. let's punish punish punish, and then release... rather than fixing the actual problem that caused the criminal to commit the terrible crime in the first place. i wonder if that percentage is going down, since so many men are locked inside of their mom's basement now, not paying any rent, not changing their clothes, and playing halo-3 and world of warcraft for their entire young adult lives?
