Grievous bodily harm (often abbreviated to GBH) is a technical term used in English criminal law which has become synonymous with the offences that are created by sections 18 and 20 of the Offences against the Person Act 1861. The distinction between these two sections is the requirement of specific intent for section 18. The offence under section 18 is variously referred to as "wounding with intent" or "causing grievous bodily harm with intent".〔Archbold Criminal Pleading, Evidence and Practice, 1999, paragraph 19-201 at page 1614〕 The words "with intent" refer to the specific intent required for this offence. The offence under section 20 is variously referred to as "unlawful wounding",〔Archbold Criminal Pleading, Evidence and Practice, 1999, paragraph 19-201 at page 1614〕 "malicious wounding"〔The Crime and Disorder Act 1998, section 29(1)(a)〕 or "inflicting grievous bodily harm".〔Archbold Criminal Pleading, Evidence and Practice, 1999, paragraph 19-201 at page 1614〕 The offence is the most serious form of assault anyone can commit. ==Statute== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Grievous bodily harm」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
