Re: Political Spin
Maybe the police are as confused as I am about assaults. To me Actual Bodily Harm & Grevious Bodily Harm are the same. Violence is violence and all assaults should be treated as such. Inflicting harm on any person be it a slap or a punch should carry a minimum prison term of 5 years.

Can’t explain the last line Dave, figures can be interpreted /manipulated as we all know.
Guess it’s a trust thing. We are expected to accept their judgement on the matter :rolleyes: If it wasn’t so serious it would be laughable :( |

Re: Political Spin
I believe the 'fear of attack' also counts. Although perhaps Blazey will correct me.

GBH is where the skin is broken to cause bleeding or a bone is broken or an internal organ is damaged. The use of a weapon only increases the severity of the charge and is not the sole reason. And I do have first hand experience. Years ago when living up Highercroft I was attacked by a thug who broke my nose with a Glasgow Kiss. The assailant was charged with GBH and I was able to make a claim from the Criminal Injuries Board. His counter claim made in a very high voice was dismissed. |

Threats of physical harm can do as much damage as a physical blow

Re: Political Spin
Assault = as little as putting someone in fear of unlawful contact from another, so for example a man raising a fist at you can constitute an assault. The term 'assault' is also used for ABH, which is the harm caused by a person that does not break BOTH layers of skin. So not drawing blood. Grazes for example can be ABH.
GBH is the breaking of both layers of skin. I can't recall whether breaking of bones constitutes GBH, I always forget as I always think of the two in terms of skin breakage. Pretty serious that crimes are being recorded wrongly really, as sentencing in court is determined at times on how common the crime is and how harshly we need to punish it in order for the punishment to be a deterrent. Anyway, that is my opinion. I know I'm not around much but someone asked me to clarify. |
