False, touching can constitute part of a battery even if it does not cause physical injury. In legal terms, battery refers to the intentional and wrongful physical contact with another person, without that person's consent. This physical contact does not necessarily have to result in injury to be considered battery. It can include actions such as pushing, hitting, or even touching someone in a way that is offensive or harmful. However, the severity of the contact may be a factor in determining the extent of damages that a person can claim as a result of the battery.
