What is Considered a Violent Crime in California?
In California, a crime is categorized as violent if it involves force or the threat of force against another individual, according to the California Penal Code Section 667.5(c). It's important to note that the classification of a crime can change based on the details of the incident. For specific legal advice or information, it's always best to consult with a legal professional.
Defending Against All Types of Violent Crimes
In California, there are three levels of criminal charges. The least severe is a violent crime infraction. Violent crimes are rarely charged as infractions. It is more common to face a misdemeanor charge or a felony charge for a violent crime. Most violent crimes are charged as felonies, which carry the harshest level of penalties.
Common violent crimes include:
- Assault and battery
- Armed robbery
- Child abuse
- Domestic violence
- Gang-related crimes
- Homicide
- Kidnapping
- Sexual assault
Violent crime charges are incredibly serious. The penalties of a conviction are harsh. Depending on the circumstances of the allegations against you, you could be facing thousands of dollars in fines and a lengthy jail or prison sentence. Additionally, having a felony conviction on your record can negatively affect your ability to find a job, secure housing, and attend college.
