Answer :

Final answer:

Assault involves intentional threats or acts to create fear of imminent violence. Threatened battery assault requires conduct that inspires reasonable fear in the victim.


Explanation:

Assault is a crime that involves intentional, unlawful threats or acts that create a well-founded fear of imminent violence in another person. In the context of threatened battery assault, the criminal act element requires conduct that inspires reasonable fear in the victim of imminent harmful or offensive physical contact, with apparent ability to commit the battery.

The defendant's criminal act must be the factual and legal cause of the harm, which is defined in Section 10 "Battery Harm". It's important to note that assault does not require actual physical contact but instead focuses on creating fear in the victim.
