A violent crime is a criminal offense that is committed with the use of violence, or with threats of violence. When a person commits a violent crime, the violence is usually just a means to an end. In recent years, violent crimes have escalated in the state of Georgia, especially amongst the adolescent, male demographic. In hopes of decreasing instances of violent crimes, law enforcement and legislation has become very strict when dealing with violent crime offenders. People who are convicted of committing a violent crime should expect to spend substantial time in prison, in addition to paying fines, paying restitution and performing community service. For these reasons, it is very important to consult a violent crimes lawyer when facing criminal charges involving violence.
