Answer 1

Answer:

In criminal law, the term offence against the person or crime against the person usually refers to a crime which is committed by direct physical harm or force being applied to another person.

They are usually analysed by division into the following categories:

Fatal offences

Sexual offences

Non-fatal non-sexual offences

They can be further analysed by division into:

Assaults

Injuries

And it is then possible to consider degrees and aggravations, and distinguish between intentional actions (e.g., assault) and criminal negligence (e.g., criminal endangerment).
