So I'm doing assignment for my criminal law class and he's lately been asking us about the differences between this crime and that crime and I swear some of these are some of the most baffling things I've ever heard or are just one of them plain out missing one single element that keeps it from being the other.
But it got me curious since some of them were honestly surprising to hear, so I began to wonder just how many things in this world there are like that. As such I made a thread devoted to the question so we can bamboozle ourselves with these matters all we like.
I'll start by asking, without googling the answer, if you guys know the difference between assault and battery.

Assault is an ionic compound with a crystal-lattice structure, a battery is what you use to give electrical charge to things.

I dislike Arby's and the only things I like at McDonald's are the nuggets, fries, and sausage mcgriddles But I think a lot of that has to do with individual experiences, and how good each store is at each location |

Assault is just, well, assaulting someone. Battery is where they've actually retained injuries from the encounter. I just guessed that so I could be totally wrong.

Assault is just, well, assaulting someone. Battery is where they've actually retained injuries from the encounter. I just guessed that so I could be totally wrong. The general description of them is that battery is the crime of hitting someone, but assault is the crime of making someone feel as if they're about to be hit. So, if I punch you in the face, I'm guilty of battery and assault since I hit your face and since you saw me perform the action you would quite clearly be aware that I was about to hit you. However, if I try to punch you and miss, I'm not guilty of battery (Maybe attempted battery depending on the location, but not battery itself (Usually. Always remember that in US law no law is truly universal and so when anyone talks about US law they're talking about what is typically done by most places)) but I am guilty of assault since you saw me attempt to punch you and gave you the awareness that I was about to hit you. However, if I sneak up behind you and whacked you with a bat, I am guilty of battery since I hit you with the bat but I'm not guilty of assault since you had no awareness of the incoming attack (Once more, this is a "Usually" case. Some states have extended their assault laws to cover this particular situation). Well, at least, that's the simple explanation of it. Mind you, I'm condensing a third of a textbook chapter into a few scenarios so there's much more to the situation than what I've explained. |
