Study Notes
Robbery vs Burglary
- Robbery: Involves the use of force or threat of force to steal property from another person. It happens during a confrontation.
- Burglary: Involves the unlawful entry into a building with the intent to commit a crime, often theft. It is not a confrontation, it is often without the knowledge of the property owner.
Manslaughter vs Murder
- Murder: Is the unlawful killing of another human being with malice aforethought. This means the killing was premeditated or intentional.
- Manslaughter: Involves the unlawful killing of another human being without malice aforethought. It is often categorized as voluntary manslaughter (intentional killing in the heat of passion) or involuntary manslaughter (unintentional killing due to recklessness or negligence).
Aggravated Assault
- Aggravated Assault: Is characterized by serious bodily injury or the use of a deadly weapon. It is a more serious form of assault than a simple assault, which typically involves less serious injuries.
- Intent: Involves the intent to cause serious harm to another individual.
Sexual Assault vs Sexual Battery
- Sexual Assault: Is a broad term that encompasses any unwanted sexual contact, including touching, kissing, or penetration, regardless of whether or not physical force is used.
- Sexual Battery: Usually involves the physical penetration of another person’s sexual organs, anus, or mouth, without consent. It typically implies a higher level of force or violence than sexual assault.
Terrorism
- Intent: The primary intent behind terrorism is to create fear and terror, often to achieve political, religious, or social goals. Terrorists often target civilians or infrastructure to maximize fear and disruption.
