Legal Definitions
The experience of battery is a
traumatic personal event that does not stop with assault. Working with law enforcement and t=
he
courts in the after math of being battered can be over whelming for victims=
and
their families. Legal terms a=
nd
definitions can be confusing, especially when their meaning can alter from
police to the courts and legal counsel environments. There are the basic legal and crim=
inal
justice textbook definitions.
Police:
- Assault and Battery: “An unlawful attack by one person =
upon
another. Also the unlawf=
ul,
intentional inflicting or attempted or threatened infliction, of injury
upon the person of another” (Criminal Justice Today 7th
ed. Schmalleger).
Court:
- Assault: “Any intentional, unexcused act that creates in
another person a reasonable apprehension or fear of immediate harmful =
or
offensive contact is an assault” (West’s Legal Environment=
of
Business 3rd ed. Cross, Frank B. and Roger Leroy Miller).
- Battery:
“An unexcused and harmful or offensive physical contact
intentionally performed” (West’s Legal Environment of Busi=
ness
3rd ed. Cross, Frank B. and Roger Leroy Miller).=
- False Imprisonment: “The intentional confinement or
restraint of another person’s activities without
justification” (West’s Legal Environment of Business 3rd
ed. Cross, Frank B. and Roger Leroy Miller).
