What Are Violent Crimes?
A violent crime is any criminal act involving physical violence or the threat of violence against a person or group of people. If the crime is committed with the use of a deadly weapon, the accused may face more severe charges. Types of violent crimes include, but are not limited to:
- Assault and battery: Attacking or threatening to attack someone physically
- Kidnapping: Forcibly taking or confining a person against their will
- Robbery: Using force or intimidation to take private or government property
- Murder: Intentionally killing another person
- Manslaughter: Unintentionally causing someone’s death
- Domestic violence: Violence against a family member, spouse or partner
The penalties for such crimes depend on the circumstances of the crime, what harm was inflicted or threatened, and whether the defendant has any previous convictions. Possible punishments include jail and prison time, very high fines, a criminal record, probation and community service.
