What Are Violent Crimes?

Typically, any crime that is considered violent in nature, or uses physical or aggressive force against another person, is a violent crime. A person may be charged with a violent crime if they threaten to use violent force on another individual, even if they didn't cause any physical harm.

Examples of violent crimes include the following:

The violent crime that receives the harshest of penalties is murder, which is the unlawful, premeditated killing of another person. There are varying degrees of murder, and our experienced Orlando violent crime attorneys are prepared to handle cases involving any type of murder charge.

Penalties for Violent Crimes in Florida

Violent crime charges in Florida are taken very seriously, and the penalties for a conviction can be severe. The penalties for violent crimes depend on the specific offense, the level of severity, and whether any aggravating factors are involved, such as the use of a weapon or the victim’s age or health.

  • Assault: Simple assault is typically a misdemeanor, punishable by up to one year in jail and a $1,000 fine. However, aggravated assault, which involves the use of a weapon or intent to commit a felony, is a felony charge and can result in up to 15 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
  • Battery: A simple battery is a misdemeanor punishable by up to one year in jail. Aggravated battery, involving serious injury or the use of a weapon, can lead to up to 30 years in prison.
  • Murder: Murder charges in Florida are the most serious. First-degree murder can result in life imprisonment or the death penalty. Second-degree murder can lead to 25 years to life in prison. Manslaughter convictions typically result in 15 years in prison.
  • Robbery: Robbery convictions vary based on the circumstances. Simple robbery can lead to up to 15 years in prison, while armed robbery can result in 25 years or more, depending on the use of a weapon.
  • Domestic Violence: Domestic violence charges carry serious penalties, including mandatory counseling, probation, and up to 5 years in prison for felony charges. Convictions can also result in a permanent restraining order and loss of custody rights.

Understanding the Impact of Violent Crime Charges

Facing violent crime charges can be a life-altering experience, not only for the accused but also for their families and communities. The repercussions of a conviction can extend far beyond legal penalties, affecting employment opportunities, personal relationships, and overall quality of life. 

Here are some key considerations regarding the implications of violent crime charges:

  • Legal Consequences: Violent crime convictions can result in significant prison time, hefty fines, and a permanent criminal record, which can hinder future opportunities.
  • Emotional and Psychological Effects: The stress of legal battles can lead to anxiety, depression, and strained relationships. It's important to seek support from professionals who can help you cope.
  • Social Stigma: Being charged with a violent crime can carry a social stigma that affects personal and professional relationships, making it essential to have a strong defense team on your side.
