(2) Followed in this definition, nine provisions related to the Aggravated Assault were extracted from seventy three ones in the Violence category as which Korean National Police Agency regards seven offenses and other two Acts.

(3) Korean Criminal Code has seven offenses in the Violence:

Injury

Assault

Capture/Confinement

Intimidation

Extortion

Breakage.

Besides those violences, two Special Laws have been counted in the Violence: (1) the Punishment of Violences, etc. Act and (2) the Act on the Aggravated Punishment, etc. of Specific Crimes, which were enacted for rasing the penalty on serious offenders.
