A violent crime occurs when one person harms or threatens to harm another person. In New Jersey, non-violent crimes are all crimes punishable by jail time that do not threaten to or actually involve bodily injury.
There are many different types of violent crimes, including assault, robbery, manslaughter and murder.

Assault
There are two types of assault in New Jersey: simple and aggravated. Each is classified by the type of injury the victim sustained. Simple assault can include harming someone in self defense, negligence with a deadly weapon that causes injury, or an unsuccessful attempt to harm another person. Aggravated assault typically involves harming another person on purpose. Causing bodily harm using a motor vehicle — assault by auto — is also an assault crime in N.J. These can include leaving the scene of an accident and DUI charges on school property.
