Introduction The common law offences of assault and battery are one of the basic building blocks of the English criminal law. They are (like many common law offences) also very old. Indeed, battery is probably one of the oldest extant offences given that Anglo-Saxon law recognised ‘wounding’- with an elaborate tariff of fines imposed depending on the nature of the injury inflicted.1 As for assault, this belongs to a politer age and it does not seem to have become a criminal offence until (probably) the 14th century. 2 In respect of assault and battery: Nature of Battery. Battery comprised - and still does - the infliction of unlawful physical injury on another. Thus, it includes offences such as homicide and rape as well as wounding. However, since Anglo-Saxon times, homicide and rape - as well as many other offences such as murder, manslaughter, mayhem 3 and affray - have become independent offences. So too, the offence of false imprisonment 4 as well as those of escape, prison breach and rescue5 - offences which also (often) involve assault or battery; Civil Remedy. Today, with the emergence of these independent offences, the ambits of assault and battery are more restricted in scope. Further, since early times, a civil remedy has been available; Defences. There have also been longstanding defences to assault and battery viz. where a person, acting reasonably: (a) acts in self-defence; or (b) acts to protect others; or (c) acts to protect his property or goods; or (d) where the assault or battery is lawfully administered by the requisite legal authorities; or (e) where (in the past) a man reasonably chastised his wife, child, servant, villain or apprentice for bad behaviour (or a teacher a child for the same, when acting in loco parentis). The rationale for these not being criminal was that they were to prevent a ‘breach of the peace’ (i.e. a crime) or to punish the commission of the same (eg. the lawful execution of a person for a crime) or to inculcate lawful obedience. There have also been cases where an assault or battery was held not to have occurred - such as in the case of surgery since it was therapeutic (that is, designed not to cause an injury, but to heal one). Further, in practice, minor (de minimis) assaults and batteries have not been subject to criminal punishment (and where they have been, the courts have usually only awarded a nominal sum); Consent. In modern times, it has been asserted that persons can consent to other than minor batteries being intentionally or recklessly committed against them (eg. when playing ‘games’ whether organised 1 This tariff system continued from the 6th century AD until (at least) c. 1113 (see 5). Anglo-Saxon law derived from Germanic law, since, by AD 500, the Western Roman Empire gave way to a number of Germanic kingdoms and ‘various Germanic peoples known as the Anglo-Saxons settled in Britain between the middle of the fifth and the middle of the sixth centuries.’ See KF Drew, The Laws of the Salian Franks (University of Pennsylvania Press, 1991), p 25. This text contains a useful discussion on the supplanting of Roman law by Germanic law from the decline of the Roman Empire. 2 The Laws of Henry I (c. 1113) (see n 8 and 5) suggest that the criminal law covered only actual (and not threatened) acts of violence. Further, that it covered intentional acts but not negligent or accidental ones, see ns 103 & 104. 3 DM Walker, The Oxford Companion to Law (Oxford, 1980), (definition of mayhem) ‘In medieval English law, an injury to the person which amounted to the deprivation of a member used for fighting. It could originally be prosecuted by an appeal of felony, but usually by proceedings for trespass. It is now treated as a malicious injury to the person.’ 4 See GS McBain, False Imprisonment and Refusing to Assist a Police Officer - The Need for Statutory Offences. Journal of Politics and Law (2015), vol 8, no 3, pp 51-99. 5 See GS McBain, Modernising the Law of Escape, Prison Breach and Rescue. Review of European Studies (2014), vol 6, no 4, pp 147-73. 39 www.ccsenet.org/ilr International Law Research Vol. 4, No. 1; 2015 sports, horseplay or sexual games, including sado-masochism). However, it is asserted that this is inaccurate since the criminal law - from early times - has never recognised that a person can consent to a ‘breach of the peace’. Thus, if intentional or reckless, injury results, it is a crime, even if consensual (so too any non-therapeutic mutilation) unless the same is treated as minor or legislation expressly permits it (tattooing etc.). Thus, modern caselaw is in danger of creating a new ‘defence’ at common law, when there was none; Aggravated Batteries. Besides assault and battery at common law there are various aggravated assaults and batteries pursuant to legislation. However, there are also many legal problems with the current law on assault and battery - such that it would be useful to put these offences into modern legislation. For example, ‘assault’ is often (incorrectly) used as a generic expression to cover battery as well as assault. This causes much confusion. Further, the definitions of ‘assault’ and ‘battery’ are old. They should be cast in a more modern, and intelligible, form. Finally, the actus reus and mens rea for these offences should be clarified - as well as the precise nature of the defences available. In order to highlight these problems - as well as the means of their resolution - this article considers the history of these offences. Also, it analyses the references to assault and battery in the principal texts on criminal law from early, up to modern, times. In conclusion, this article asserts that there should be new statutory offences of ‘Violent Assault’ (formerly, battery) and ‘Threatened Violent Assault’ (formerly, assault). And, that the criminal and civil forms should be (almost) the same. Also, that the aggravated forms of these offences should be reflected in the punishment - rather than in any change to the definitions of assault and battery. Finally, any aggravated offences should be few in number. 2. Source Material With regard to this article, the following primary texts are considered: Anglo-Saxon Law.

A STUDY OF CRIMINAL VIOLENCE IN SPORT JACK ANDERSON* "Nothing should be punished by the law that does not lie beyond the limits of toleration." -Devlin, The Enforcement of Morals I. INTRODUCTION This article intends to examine what role, if any, the criminal law should have in regulating and sanctioning violent behaviour "beyond the touchline."' The principal focus will be on the crime of assault. Gener- ally, that which is done by consent is no assault at all, though this is not a license to inflict serious harm. However, what role does consent play in modem contact sports where physical aggression of a kind that would otherwise be deemed illegal, is permitted? In short, contact sports, or what were once called "manly diversions," have long received an exemp- tion from the lower thresholds of consent. Accordingly, this article will address three broad issues; the origins of this "sporting" exemption, its justification under criminal legal theory and its actual application.

  • Liberty of Contract
    YALE LAW JOURNAL LIBERTY OF CONTRACT "The right of a person to sell his labor," says Mr. Justice Harlan, "upon such terms as he deems proper, is in its essence, the same as the right of the purchaser of labor to prescribe the conditions upon which he will accept such labor from the person offering to sell it. So the right of the employee to quit the service of the employer, for whatever reason, is the same as the right of the employer, for whatever reason, to dispense with the ser- vices of such employee ........ In all such particulars the employer and the employee have equality of right, and any legis- lation that disturbs that equality is an arbitrary interference with the liberty of contract, which no government can legally justify in a free land." ' With this positive declaration of a lawyer, the culmination of a line of decisions now nearly twenty- five years old, a statement which a recent writer on the science of jurisprudence has deemed so fundamental as to deserve quotation and exposition at an unusual length, as compared with his treat- ment of other points, 2 let us compare the equally positive state- ment of a sociologist: "Much of the discussion about 'equal rights' is utterly hollow. All the ado made over the system of contract is surcharged with fallacy." ' To everyone acquainted at first hand with actual industrial conditions the latter statement goes without saying. Why, then do courts persist in the fallacy? Why do so many of them force upon legislation an academic theory of equality in the face of practical conditions of inequality? Why do we find a great and learned court in 19o8 taking the long step into the past of deal- ing with the relation between employer and employee in railway transportation, as if the parties were individuals-as if they were farmers haggling over the sale of a horse ? 4 Why is the legal conception of the relation of employer and employee so at variance with the common knowledge of mankind?

In the language of the criminal law a person who assists or encourages another to commit a crime is known as an accessory or secondary party. The actual perpetrator is known as a principal, even if his role may be subordinate to that of others. It is a fundamental principle of the criminal law that the accessory is guilty of the same offence as the principal. The reason is not difficult to see. He shares the physical act because even if it was not his hand which struck the blow, ransacked the house, smuggled the drugs or forged the cheque, he has encouraged or assisted those physical acts.

  • Right to Self-Defence in National and International Law: the Role of the Imminence Requirement
    "I KNOW NOT WITH WHAT WEAPONS WORLD WAR Im WILL BE FOUGHT, BUT WORLD WAR IV WILL BE FOUGHT WITH SUCKS AND STONES." EINSTEIN1 THE RIGHT TO SELF-DEFENCE IN NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL LAW: THE ROLE OF THE IMMINENCE REQUIREMENT Onder Bakircioglu* This article explores the doctrine of self-defence within the context of the challenges directed at the imminence requirement, from the perspective of both national and international law. The article will attempt to illustrate that the requirement of imminence underlines the political character of the self-defence doctrine wherein private force may only be resorted to in the absence of institutional protection. This study will argue that the imminence rule can not merely be regarded as a "proxy" for establishing necessity; rather, the elements of imminence, necessity, and proportionality are inextricably connected to ensure that defensive force is only resorted to when national or international authorities are not in a position to prevent an illegal aggression, and that the defensive lethal force is not abused. INTRODUCTION The September 11 attacks aroused controversy as to whether anticipatory or pre-emptive self-defence 2 is allowed under customary international law, and if so, under what circumstances. Following the devastating attacks on New York and Washington, the 2002 National Security Strategy (NSS) made it clear that the United States would act unilaterally to protect its security against "emerging threats before they are fully formed."3 This approach signified a radical departure from the collective security system by the sole existing super power. Indeed, while the right to national self-defence has been recognized as an inherent right of states since the very emergence of international law, * Onder Bakircioglu, Lecturer in Law, Queen's University Belfast.

In most ways these occupations worked no material hardship on the empire, either militarily or civilly. The occupying Goths and their Roman counterparts developed symbiotic legal and social relationships, and in several instances, the new Germanic rulers sought and received approval of their rule both from the Western Empire, seated in Constantinople, and the Pope. Rugian Odoacer and Ostrogoth Theodoric each, in fact, claimed respect for Roman law, and the latter ruler held the Roman title patricius et magister rnilitum. In sum, the Rugians and the Ostrogoths were content to absorb much of Roman law, and to work only such modifications as were propitious in the light of centuries of Gothic customary law.

LEGISLATING THE NECESSITY DEFENSE IN CRIMINAL LAW By LAWRENCE P. TIFFANY,* CARL A. ANDERSON** INTRODUCTION The necessity, or choice of evils, defense has not been raised very frequently. This is, no doubt, partly due to the relative rarity of such situations and to the fact that police and prosecutors screen out most of those cases that do come to their attention. The importance of this body of law, however, may increase as recodification of criminal law spreads. About 24 new criminal codes have been adopted in the past dozen years, and almost as many are in the legislative process. Many of these new codes have a section dealing with the necessity defense. This analysis is based largely on these new statutes and proposals, whether or not they have been enacted, as they are likely to be interpreted in light of the existing, but rather meager, case law of this defense.' *Professor of Law, University of Denver College of Law; A.B., 1961, LL.B., 1963, Washington University; S.J.D., 1967, University of Wisconsin.
