Is assault a result crime or a conduct crime?

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. The motive of the assaulter would have to be known before a judgment could be made as to the category that that particular assault fell into.
