In many states, there are different types of assaults, including simple assault and aggravated assault, and the crimes may be considered misdemeanors or felonies. Although the definitions of the crimes of assault and battery vary from state to state, a simple assault commonly occurs when a person attempts to or threatens to commit a physical injury without using a weapon.
