  Assault and Battery In Chicago

  

  Illinois law considers the charges of assault and battery as separate crimes. An assault is the threat of violence, while battery means that actual physical violence has been carried out. For example, if an individual chases after another individual while swinging their fists menacingly, that would be considered assault, while if the individual actually strikes another individual, that would be considered battery.

  When the term aggravated accompanies a charge of assault or battery, the charges against the accused are more serious. Assault charges may be elevated if the act involved a deadly weapon, was carried out against specific groups of individuals including government employees, police officers, or elderly individuals and if the act was committed on government property.

  Battery charges may be elevated if the act involved a deadly weapon, if the accused caused significant injury or permanent disfigurement to another individual, or if the act was carried out against specific groups of individuals also including government officials or teachers.

  Penalties for assault or battery convictions are wide ranging and include prison time and monetary fines.
