Question

Jonas is arrested for the criminal offense of attacking and injuring a neighbor in the neighbor's front yard. After the arrest, he is concerned about potential civil liability.

Which of the following should he be concerned about relating to both criminal and civil liability in this case?

a. Assault
b. Conversion
c. Trespass to chattel
d. False imprisonment

Answer 1

Assault.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the attack is physical the act must be considered as Assault.

An assault is indeed the gesture of perpetrating bodily harm or unwanted advances on a person, or a menace or attempting to commit such an intervention. It can be considered both a crime and a infringement and, therefore, may outcome in either criminal and/or civil liability.
