Battery is a crime that occurs when one person commits a violent act upon another in order to cause bodily injury or harm. The charge of battery is often levied in conjunction with charges of assault, which is the prerequisite to battery that occurs with an individual's attempts to inflict violent harm upon another. When this violent act takes place, the charge is battery. While there are different types of assault, battery is largely limited to initial injury since more severe injuries may be categorized under other violent crimes.
