aggravated assaults
Violent harmful crimes
Aggravated assaults are attacks that involve factors making them more serious than simple assault—typically the use of a weapon, intent to commit a felony, or infliction of severe bodily harm.
The term appears most often in crime statistics and legal contexts: Aggravated assaults rose 12% last year.
What qualifies as "aggravated" varies by jurisdiction, but generally indicates elevated danger or criminal intent.
