Assaults

Whether an assault is charged as a misdemeanor or a felony is largely dependent upon the severity of the injury to the victim and whether a weapon was used.
NC defines assault as an overt act or attempt, or the unequivocal appearance of attempt, to physically injure another person.
Punishments are more severe where the victim is a female, a police officer or other government official such as a teacher.
Domestic Violence, or the acts of violence between individuals involved in a romantic relationship, may require that the offender complete a Domestic Abuser treatment program, get a substance abuse assessment, etc.
