Violent crime is a crime that is committed, while also threatening harm, causing fear of harm, or causing actual harm or death to another. Typically, violent crimes include:

Any conviction for a violent crime is likely to bring serious consequences, including fines and potentially lengthy imprisonment. In the state of Indiana, if a firearm or gun was used in the commission of that crime, the state prosecutor can charge the crime as a higher felony and additional consequences could apply.

Consequences For Violent Crime Convictions

The authorities always pursue aggressive penalties for anyone convicted of a violent crime, but that doesn’t fully outline the range of consequences you will face for your charges. The true consequences for a violent crime come in three areas:

  • Personal: Your relationships with your family and community will become strained, as information of your charges and legal situation becomes public. A violent charge will color everyone’s perception of you from that point forward.
  • Professional: In some cases, facing a violent charge will make continuing your job in some sectors impossible. It may result in your direct firing, or it could result in a considerable loss of business. Even after you’ve served your sentence, your criminal record will show up on background checks, jeopardizing future opportunities in both jobs and finances.
  • Criminal: The most acute consequences you face are the criminal, legal consequences. These will include time behind bars, either for a few months or a few years. You may also face significant, expensive fines which will be a condition of your sentencing. Probation and parole after your release are potential ongoing complications. Additionally, your convictions will continue to show on your record for a long time.

Addressing the consequences you face in real time and getting thorough, strategic assistance is the best way to take control of these consequences. You may not be able to overcome every negative outcome from facing a charge. But with an experienced attorney fighting for you at every step, you have much better chances.
