Answer to Question 1

Answer: An assault that does not involve a dangerous weapon and results in no serious injury is a relatively minor crime. In comparison, aggravated assault is an extremely serious crime. Investigators can establish intent by determining the events that led up to the assault. The suspect's exact words and actions should be documented, and statements should be taken from the victim and any witnesses. Responding officers should also establish the severity of the assault by taking photographs and describing all injuries in their notes. The size, location, number, color, depth, and amount of bleeding of any injuries must also be carefully described. Some bruises do not become visible for several hours or even days, so assault victims should also be advised that additional photographs will need to be taken later. An oral or written statement should be obtained from qualified medical personnel regarding the severity and permanence of the injuries and any impairment of bodily functioning. The means of the attack and the exact weapon used must be determined in an assault case.
