Which scenario would not qualify as UCR Agg Assault?

• A. Simple assault without a weapon
• B. Assault with a weapon
• C. Assault with hands and feet that cause serious injury
• D. Assault with minor injury

Answer: (A)

Under Uniform Crime Reporting, aggravated assault is defined by either the use of a weapon or the infliction of serious bodily injury. If there’s no weapon and the injury isn’t serious, the act falls under simple assault. Therefore, the scenario described as an assault without a weapon does not meet the aggravated criteria and would not qualify as UCR Agg Assault. The other scenarios—one involving a weapon and the other involving serious injury—meet the conditions for aggravated assault.
