• Legal procedures against crimes like battery and
  assault
•  
• An 'assault' and 'battery' are two separate
  crimes, but most of the time, they happen
  together, and hence together, it is
  called assault and battery. There are slight
  differences between an assault and a battery. It
  is crucial to see the difference between the two.
• What is an assault?
•  Generally, an assault means intentional harm.
• The threat of harming someone, instead of harming
  the person, in reality, is also called an
  assault.
• In the case of an assault, the victim doesn't
  need to get harmed physically and put to death.
• Any sort of fear caused to the victim is
  generally called an assault.
• An assault is also known as attempted battery.

• But only scaring someone verbally does not mean
  an assault. But if a person is sacred by a
  weapon, then that can fall under assault. Thus
  any threat with any variety of acts of scaring
  can fall under assault.
• What is the battery?
• The battery is harming a person. While in an
  assault, the victim is threatened in the case of
  the battery, the victim is physically harmed.
  Although assault and battery are slightly
  different from each other, most of the time, a
  person is charged with both. And in many places,
  assault and battery are joined together.
• However, not all acts of touching are considered
  battery.
• To touch without consent.
• Intentional touching.
• And harmful and offensive touching.
• If these things happen, the crime falls under the
  battery.

• What to do when faced with such offences?
• If any individual faces such violence of assault
  and battery, they can get a restraining order
  from the court. A restraining order is also known
  as a protective order. It protects a person,
  business, company, state, etc., from violence. In
  the United States, all the states have a
  restraining order against domestic violence,
  stalking, and sexual assault.
• Legal punishments for violation of restarting
  order
• In Massachusetts breaking a restraining order is
  considered a criminal offence. If anyone breaks a
  restraining order, the court can sentence that
  person to a maximum of two and a half years of
  jail. And can ask to pay a fine of 5,000.
• The ground on which the order is issued
• However, the actual punishment of a person who
  has violated a restraining order depends on
  varieties of factors-
• Reason for issuing a restraining order.
• Allegations for the violence.
