of the occupant, then it is clear that the accused had

the victim that the offender will use criminal force .
But criminal force is intentional use of force to the
victim without his consent.
 Criminal force includes assault . But assault may
not include criminal force.

11.  An assault is something less than the use of criminal
force, the force being cut short before the blow actually
falls . But criminal force is something more than the
assault , the force is actually used criminally crossing
the limit of gesture and preparation..
 Assault consists of an attempt to offer by a person
having present ability with force to do any hurt or
violence to the person of another ; it is committed
whenever a well founded apprehension of immediate
peril from force already partially or fully put in motion
is created . But in criminal force the motion , change of
motion or cessation of motion of the victim is actually
caused by use of force.
