Assaulting
Definition
The act of assaulting; physically, verbally, or psychologically attacking a person or a group through violent deeds, threats, or abusive behaviors. Unlike the abstract term 'aggression', which describes the general phenomenon or state of hostility, the process of assaulting defines the concrete execution of the violent act exerted upon the victim.
