Simple assault is often ranked among the most common crimes associated with alcohol use, as intoxication can impair judgment and increase aggression. Studies indicate that a significant percentage of simple assault incidents occur in social settings where alcohol consumption is prevalent. While not all alcohol-related offenses involve violence, simple assault frequently emerges as a direct consequence of excessive drinking. This connection underscores the need for preventive measures in environments where alcohol is served.

ANY type of assault is a crime. Virtually ALL 'crimes against persons' offenses embody SOME type of assault in them. An Armed Robbery is an assault but so too is Simple Assault (an unlawful touching). Whether it is a 'result' offense or a 'conduct' offense depends on the motive for the assault in the first place, and how it is carried out.

They can be different in every state. In Georgia they fall under "Crimes Against Persons" in Title 16 of the Georgia Criminal Code. They are listed in Chapter 5 and if we are talking simply about the traditional crimes that are thought of as involving violent altercations between 2 or more people (which I will stick with to keep the topic simple) they are: Simple Assault, Assault, Simple Battery, Battery, Felony Battery, Aggravated Assault, to name the main simple few that start the category. In Georgia any of these can have the tag D.V. attached to them for "Domestic Violence" which of course carries a much stiffer penalty. Also covered in Ga Code 16-5 are crimes like Murder, Aggravated Battery, Aggravated Assault on a Law Enforcement Officer, and most of your other violent crimes against persons. The term "Assault" is found in several other chapters of the Georgia Criminal Code, where it goes on to deal with Sexual offenses, Offenses involving Motor Vehicles, and many others. Most of this information can be found in Georgia Criminal Code, title 16, although the section dealing with Motor Vehicles is in Title 40. For example, were you to look up the "Code Section" for the Crime "Murder" It would be found in "Georgia Code 16-5-1".
