Violent offences

A violent offence is anything involving physical force. These offences range from a minor assault to grievous bodily harm, torture, manslaughter and murder.

Charges relating to the use of weapons are also classified as violent offences.

The courts take these types of charges seriously, so it is important you have expert legal representation if you are charged with a violent offence.

Some violent offences can also be categorised as a form of domestic violence offence.
