Determining Whether Or Not the Jurisdiction in Which the Crime Has Occu
ed Should
Consider the Man’s Actions As Assault
Every jurisdiction has the power or legal right to exercise its authority. Its extent is only over
certain people, subject matters and te
itories. Jurisdiction over a person gives the authority to the
courts to try the defendant (Mason, A. T., & Stephenson, G., 2015; Swan, S., Keen, N., Reynolds, N., &
Onwumere, J., 2017). Jurisdiction over a subject gives the authority, which is derived from the
country’s law or constitution, to consider a particular case.
Jurisdiction gives the authority over the geographically area over which a court has the authority
to decide on its cases (Mason, A. T., & Stephenson, G., 2015; Swan, S., Keen, N., Reynolds, N., &
Onwumere, J., 2017).
Jurisdiction has to be considered where the man’s actions as an assault have been taken place.
The punishment for assault can range from fines, community service, and probation to
imprisonment. It depends on the jurisdiction as in many places assault against a public servant
ca
ies strict punishment (Power, R., Robinson, B., Colton, J., & Cameron, M., 2014).
Determining Whether Or Not the Jurisdiction Should Punish the Man’s Actions as Battery
with Justification
Jurisdiction is very important to punish man’s actions as battery. Mostly assault is followed by
the crime of battery. As in most jurisdictions, the victim has to prove that attacker had intent to
cause harm or injury (Power, R., Robinson, B., Colton, J., & Cameron, M., 2014; Freer, R. D., 2014).
