assault and battery

assault and battery. Loosely, a criminal battery. See BATTERY.

“Although the term assault and battery is frequently used when a battery has been committed, one who commits a battery cannot also be punished for committing an assault, since the lesser offense of assault blends into the actual battery.” Paul Marcus, “Assault and Battery,” in 1 Encyclopedia of Crime and Justice 88, 88 (Sanford H. Kadish ed., 1983).
