Assault
The definition of assault includes the unwanted touching of another person or the applying of force directly or indirectly to another person without that person’s consent.
Assault can also include making a threat, if the person being threatened reasonably believes that the person making the threat is likely to carry it out. This is known as verbal assault.
All forms of assault are considered violent crimes and, as such, the penalties and consequences associated with a conviction are severe
