Canada Violence and Personal Offences Lawyer

Violent and personal criminal charges range in severity based upon the actual crime. Some of the more common offences, as defined under the Criminal Code of Canada, include:

  • Criminal Negligence
  • Assault
  • Domestic Assault
  • Sexual assault
  • Kidnapping
  • Uttering Threats
  • Weapons and Firearms Offences
  • Harassment
  • Manslaughter and Murder
  • Child Abandonment
  • Child Abuse
  • Libel and Slander
  • Hate Propaganda
  • Endangering or Injuring Animals
  • Assaulting a Police/Peace Officer
  • Torture
  • Stalking
  • Accessory After the Fact

In most cases, the accused either threatened to cause or actually caused harm to another psychologically or physically. It is important to note threats do not have to be made directly to the other person. Even in cases where threats are made to a third party, charges might still be brought against someone. In addition, the Crown does not limit threats to those made verbally, but also considers threats made through email and text messages. Further, a threat is not limited to causing harm to another and may include threats against their pets and property.
