Violent Crime is Taken Seriously in Arizona

In Arizona, a violent crime includes any criminal act that results in death or physical injury or any criminal use of a deadly weapon or dangerous instrument. Violent crime can include:

  • Assault
  • Aggravated Assualt
  • Robbery
  • Domestic Violence
  • Weapons Charges
  • Certain Sex Crimes
  • and more

Arizona law takes violent crime seriously, and violence in the context of other crimes can be used to enhance the charge, meaning that the punishment can be increased in scope and severity. A violent crime conviction can lead to harsh sentencing in Arizona alongside additional sentencing for serious, violent, or aggravated offenses.

The punishments for violent crimes include:

  • paying restitution to the victim
  • performing community service
  • probation
  • completing anger management classes
  • a permanent criminal record
  • jail or prison sentences

Arizona police thoroughly investigate violent crimes and are trained in the investigation and arrest of those who are suspected of such crimes. Once a report of a violent crime has been received by the police, it is their duty and obligation to aggressively pursue it, which can include questioning witnesses and even working to have you admit to committing parts of a crime that you may not even have been involved in.

Your Criminal Defense Attorney Communicates on Your Behalf with Scottsdale Law Enforcement

As you might have seen on various television shows, if the police intimidate a person into admitting to committing a crime that they did not actually commit, it can still lead to time in jail, and even the potential of being falsely convicted. Fact mirrors fiction, and if the police are able to intimidate or double-talk their way into getting you to admit to anything that might be criminal, you could wind up in jail. You have constitutional rights when it comes to police interrogations, and you do not have to speak to them without a lawyer. Once you have a Scottsdale criminal defense lawyer, protect your rights and handle the rest of your case.
