Serious Violence
Report
The main difference between murder and manslaughter is that a person must intend to kill or cause GBH in order to be guilty of murder. It is this intention, known as the "mens rea", which creates complexity in this area of law. Depending on the seriousness of the harm sustained by a victim, a person may face a charge of Causing Actual Bodily Harm (ABH) or Grievous Bodily Harm (GBH).
Murder & Manslaughter
Report
The main difference between murder and manslaughter is that a person must intend to kill or cause GBH in order to be guilty of murder. It is this intention, known as the "mens rea", which creates complexity in this area of law. A charge of murder may be reduced to Manslaughter if the Defence can prove "on the balance of probabilities" that the Defendant had a "diminished responsibility" due to a mental impairment.
Abh & Gbh
Report
It is the severity of harm, including psychological harm, which determines whether the offence will be ABH or GBH. ABH can be surmised as harm which may affect the health or comfort of the victim, whereas GBH amounts to really serious harm. Both offences can be committed intentionally or recklessly, and it is this which will have a severe effect on sentence.
Common Assault
Report
The most important factor when dealing with Common Assault is that it does not require any actual physical contact or harm. The requirements to prove a case of Common Assault are that a person has, intentionally or recklessly, caused another person to fear immediate violence against them, this can even be caused by words alone.
Domestic Violence
Report
Domestic Violence (DV) does not necessarily mean actual violence but includes a number of other forms of abuse and behaviour between adults who have been or are currently in the same family or a relationship. Courts treat DV cases as being exceptionally serious and sentences will tend to reflect this however the maximum sentence will be determined on a case by case basis.
