Types of Violent Crimes

There are many different kinds of violent crimes; some of the more common include the following:

• Simple assault
• Aggravated assault
• Murder

Simple assault and aggravated assault involve contact and violence between two people. An individual who throws a rock and hits another person may be guilty of simple assault and battery, and an individual who attempts or causes serious bodily injury to another through the use of a deadly weapon is guilty of aggravated assault. Robbery is a violent crime because it utilizes force or the threat of force and physical harm in order to accomplish the theft.
