Assault is an intentional threat toward another person that gives that person a reasonable fear of harmful contact. No actual contact is required for an assault to occur.

Battery is intentional offensive touching without consent or lawful justification. Negligence is an unintentional tort. A felony is a serious offense that results in significant harm to another person or society in general, like misusing controlled substances.
