What Is The Difference Between Assault and Battery?
Assault and battery are two different kinds of crimes under criminal law.
For a crime to be considered an assault, it must involve a threat that causes someone to fear immediate harm to their body. Battery, however, goes beyond a threat and includes unwanted touching from a person or direct physical harm caused by another.
Both crimes are considered violent crimes and are punished harshly in Florida – and across the rest of the country – but it is important to understand the difference between these two kinds of criminal acts.

Yes. To be considered an assault, a crime must involve making an individual fear immediate harm to their person. A threat, therefore, is an assault if the person who receives the threat believes that they are in danger of being harmed by the person making the threats.
