Elements of Assault
Many people contend that the modern differentiation between assault and attempted battery is simply semantics. The crime of battery is the unlawful infliction of harm on another. The crime of assault is the threat or attempt to harm another person.
The elements for the crime of assault are:
Mens Rea: An unlawful attempt or threat
Actus Reus: With the present ability to injure another person
The crime of mayhem is listed in many statutes as a higher degree of battery. Here the injuries suffered by the victim are severe.First-degree assault and batteAssault Versus Battery

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. Recap-Lecture 8: Offences Against
the Person (1)
Offences Against the Person (1): FATAL OFFENCES
What is a “fatal offence”?
Murder & Manslaughter + the actus re us & m e ns re a of
these offences
3. Murder
Murder
“unlawfulkillingwithmaliceaforethought”
Actus reus of murder: “unlawful killing”
Killing must be unlawful
Chain of causation
The victim must be a living human being
Mens rea of murder: “malice aforethought”
Murder is a specific intent crime
Intention can be express (express malice-intention to kill) or
implied malice ( intention to cause GBH)
5. Lecture 8- Offences Against the
Person (2): Non Fatal Offences
What is a fatal/non-fatal offence?
Fatal offences result in the death of the victim
Non-fatal offences: does not result in the death of the
victim but infliction of physical and/or mental injury
6. Learning Outcomes:
Describe and differentiate between the other
principle acts of violence against the person:
Common Assault;
Battery;
Assault occasioning actual bodily harm (ABH); and
Assault occasioning grievous bodily harm (GBH)
7. Common Assault
Section 39 of the Criminal Justice Act 1988 states
that common assault is a summary only offence
The statute does not however, define what common
assault is
Common law closes this gap
He nce , yo u willne e d to re ad the re le vant case s o n this
to pic and cite the m as le g alautho ritie s!
8. Common Assault
There are two ways of committing this offence:
Assault (no need for contact and extends to verbal
assault (inc. silent calls- R v Ireland (1997)); and
Battery (involves physical application of force)
9. Common Assault
R v Ireland (1997)
House of Lords defined common assault as an
offence that is committed when the defendant
inte ntio nally, o r re ckle ssly, cause s ano the r pe rso n to
believehe willsuffe r im m e diate unlawfulvio le nce
NB: its not the actual application of force but an
action which causes the victim to believe that
immediate unlawful violence will be inflicted
10. Common Assault
An assault therefore,
is committed when a
gun is simply pointed
at someone, which
causes them to
believe that
immediate unlawful
violence will be
inflicted!
11. R v Ireland (1997)
The defendant made silent phone calls to the victims
and was found guilty of assault causing actual bodily
harm
The House of Lords said that there is no need for
any physical contact between the defendant and the
victim for an assault to occur
12. Actus Reus of Common Assault
The actus reus of the offence is committed when the defendant does any act
which causes the victim to be lie ve that unlawful violence is about to be
inflicted
As outlined in R v Ireland, common assault does not involve the actual
application of force, nor any physical contact with the victim
Both silence and shouting of words, as outlined by the House of Lords in R v
Ireland, amount to assault
13. Mens Rea of Common Assault
The mens rea for assault, as established in R v
Venna (1976) is intention to cause another to fear
immediate unlawful violence or recklessness to
cause such fear
The test for recklessness is subjective- the
defendant must have realised that there was a risk
that his actions or words, could cause the victim to
fear unlawful personal violence
14. Battery
Like common assault, the definition of battery is
found in common law. However, Section 39 of the
Criminal Justice Act 1988 states that battery is a
summary only offence
Battery is the applicatio n, inte ntio nally o r re ckle ssly,
o f unlawful forceo n ano the r pe rso n
15. What is “force”?
Collins v Wilcock (1984)
Force can include the slightest of touching
Examples of battery: punching, slapping, kicking and
pushing
Includes the use of indirect force (for example,
throwing something at the victim.)
16. Remember!
Assault- the victim simply fears that immediate
unlawful violence will be inflicted
Battery-actual application of force
17. Actus Reus of Battery
The actus reus of battery is the actual use of force
against the victim
The application of force must be UNLAWFUL
( Collins v Wilcock (1984))
18. Mens Rea of Battery
The mens rea of battery is either an intention to
apply unlawful physical force or recklessness as to
whether unlawful force has been applied
The test for recklessness is subjective- did the
defendant realise that there is a risk that his act (or
omission) could cause unlawful force being applied
to another?
19. Remember!
For any offence (unless of course its one of strict liability),
BOTH the actus reus and mens rea is required
20. Fagan v Metropolitan Police
Commissioner (1969)
Both the mens rea and the actus reus must exist at
the same time for an offence of battery
21. Assault Occasioning Actual Bodily
Harm (ABH)
Section 47 of the Offences Against the Person Act 1861
provides that assault occasioning actual bodily harm is an
either way offence which can result in a maximum prison
sentence of 5 years
Assault occasioning actual bodily harm is an assault or
battery which causes actual bodily harm
To occasion means to “cause”
22. Actus Reus of Assault Occasioning
ABH
The actus reus of assault occasioning actual bodily
harm is that of assault or battery
Common Assault: intentionally or recklessly caused
the victim to fear immediate and unlawful violence
Battery: application, intentionally or recklessly of
unlawful force
23. Remember!
“Occasioning” means “to cause”
Therefore, the battery or the assault, must have
CAUSED/ “OCCASIONED” actual bodily harm
24. Examples of Assault Occasioning
ABH
The harm caused/ “occasioned” can be physical and
psychological
Examples of ABH include:
Loss of teeth
Temporary loss of consciousness
Bruising
Broken nose
Minor fractures and cuts
Psychiatric injury
A scratch
25. Mens Rea of Assault Occasioning
ABH
The mens rea of ABH is the same for an assault or
battery
Common Assault: intention or recklessness to cause
fear of immediate unlawful violence
Battery: intention or recklessness to apply unlawful
physical force
R v Savage (1991): the defendant will be guilty even
26. Infliction of Grievous Bodily Harm
(GBH)
Section 20 of the Offences Against the Person Act 1861:
“who so e ve r shallunlawfullyandmaliciouslywoundorinflict
anygrievous bodilyharmupo n ano the r pe rso n, e ithe r with
o r witho ut any we apo n o r instrum e nt, shallbe g uilty o f an
o ffe nce triable e ithe r way and be ing co nvicte d the re o f shall
be liable to im priso nm e nt o f five ye ars”
“Malio us Wo unding ”-definition given by the common law
R v Wood (1830)
JCC v Eisenhower (1983)
27. Actus Reus of Section 20 OAPA
1861
The actus reus of section 20 is that the defendant must “wound or
inflict grievous bodily harm”
The injuries need to be “grievous” although not be permanent or life
threatening
Examples of GBH:
Sexually transmitted diseases- R v Dica (2004)
Deep wounds (breaking of the skin)
Broken/displaced limbs
Injuries resulting in a substantial loss of blood
Disability
Severe internal injuries
28. Mens Rea of Section 20 GBH
NB: section 20 refers to the infliction of GBH
The mens rea of section 20 GBH is intention or
recklessness
R v Parmenter (1991)
29. Causing GBH with INTENT
Section 18 of the Offences Against the Person Act
1861
Actus Reus of Section 18 offence: “wounding or
infliction of grievous bodily harm”
Mens rea: the defendant must actually intendto
cause GBH
Section 18 is a specific intention crime
30. Section 18 v Section 20
Section 18 offence is more serious (carries life
imprisonment), the defendant had the intention to cause
GBH; whereas
Section 20 intention/recklessness to cause some form of
harm
The key difference is therefore, in the mens rea of the
offences
Section 18 of the OAPA 1861 is a specific intention
