Assault and other violent behaviour can carry a serious penalty in Victoria. Assault can be both physical force to another person as well as causing someone to fear physical force, even though no physical contact occurs.
Murder is considered one of the most serious criminal offences and carries a maximum penalty of life imprisonment. Manslaughter, which is the lesser charge and does not coincide with a deliberate act carries a maximum penalty of 25 years imprisonment. Murder also carries a Standard Sentence of 25 years imprisonment if convicted.
