Assault is the act of intentionally causing fear, bodily harm, or death in another person. The key in an assault charge is the intentionality of the violent or intimidating act. Very similar, yet different, domestic assault or domestic abuse is a pattern of abusive behavior perpetrated by one or both partners in an intimate personal relationship such as marriage, family, dating, friends, etc.
Under the law both assault and domestic assault involve a range of degrees from 5th degree (a misdemeanor) to 1st degree (a felony). Circumstances, such as whether or not a weapon was involved, the severity of the injuries inflicted, and whether the person assaulted was a policeman or fireman, also play a significant part in assault charges and cases.
