This is to distinguish it from simply "assault", as individuals charged with assault did not intend serious harm. Because the intent to cause serious bodily harm is specifically stated in the statute, it is considered a violent crime.Added: These are examples of types of crime that are considered to be "Crimes Of Moral Turpitude."
