Many people often mistakenly think that assault and battery mean the same thing, but legally speaking, there are differences. Assault refers to intentionally causing or threatening physical harm or contact that the victim finds offensive. In other words, the mere threat or perception of a threat can often qualify as assault. Battery is a type of assault that involves intentional, unlawful, harmful physical contact inflicted upon an individual without their consent.
