What Are Different Types of Assault Cases?
There are many different types of assault cases, and the different types typically correspond to various types of unwanted physical actions that usually cause harm to another person. In the United States (US), some of the most common types of assault include simple assault, aggravated assault, sexual assault, indecent assault, and assault and battery. There are some other forms of assault that can be considered as separate types of assault or as subcategories, such as sexual assault against a minor or assaulting a federal officer. Most assault cases fall into one of these categories, though they have been established with some overlap among them, allowing a single act to qualify as several different types of assault, leading to more charges against a perpetrator.
