如何区分和使用assault与battery?

Assault 是指英美刑法中的“企图伤害罪”,或指侵权法中的“威胁、恐吓”。Assault强调“企图”,battery强调实施,意思是完成对这种“威胁”的实施。所以,assault与battery经常在一起出现,意思是“企图伤害罪与殴击罪”,可简称为“殴击罪”。

法警是bailiff还是judicial policeman?

bailiff通常译为“司法警察”,在我国一般称为“法警”。A bailiff is a governor or custodian (cf. bail); a legal officer to whom some degree of authority, care or jurisdiction is committed.
