A charge for battery in the UK is a criminal offence brought against an individual accused of intentionally and directly applying unlawful force against another person without their consent, either resulting in bodily harm or causing psychological distress. This may include acts like hitting, slapping, or pushing. A battery conviction could result in penalties such as fines, community service, or imprisonment, depending on the severity of the offence and illegal force used. The specific charge and its consequences will vary depending on the circumstances and jurisdiction under which the offence is committed.
