Violent felonies are serious criminal offenses that involve force, threat, or harm against another person. Crimes such as malice and felony murder occur when an individual unlawfully takes another person’s life, either with intent or during the commission of another felony. Aggravated assault and aggravated battery involve severe physical attacks, often using weapons or causing significant injury. Robbery is the act of taking someone’s property by force or intimidation, making it a violent crime with severe legal consequences. Kidnapping, the unlawful abduction or restraint of a person, is another grave felony that can carry harsh penalties. These offenses are prosecuted aggressively, often resulting in lengthy prison sentences, fines, and lifelong legal consequences.
