Violent Offences
These crimes involve violent acts, like assault or crimes where violence is featured
like robbery. The consequences of a violent offence are severe, including being sent to jail,
paying large fines, and damage to your reputation.
The most common type of violent offence is common assault, where one person intentionally or recklessly causes another to fear immediate and unlawful violence, or makes physical contact with the other person, that the other person did not consent. A typical common assault charge carries a maximum sentence of two (2) years imprisonment and can be further aggravated by the injury the alleged victim suffers. Defences to common assault include self-defence, duress and necessity.
