Answer 1

Difference between assault and battery:

Accirding to historic criminal laws, assault and battery were two crimes that could posdibly occur at the same time.Assault referred to any intentional act that causes another person to be fearful of immediate harm.this required the perpetrator to have the means or abilty to carry out this threat, making the victims fear valid, and no acutal physical contact was required.

Battery, on the other hand, referred to an intentional and offensive physical cobtact with a victim who had not given his consent to be touched. Merely touching someone without his consent could potentially be cibsidered battery, even if force wasn't applied. Although assault and battery is now considered to be a single crime in almost every jurisdiction in the united states, the courts in many many charge a perpetrator with separate crimes of assault or battery if it wishes to do so.

Example of assault and battery: john and mark are embroiled in the above argument, whereupon john threatens to break marks nose.mark becomes fearful of the potential for such injuru, the meb begin fighting, and John does indeed punch mark in the face, breaking his nose. John has now commited both assault and battery, and may be subject to both criminal "assault and battery" charges, and a civil lawsuit.
