Explaining Consequences of Domestic Battery

According to Kansas law, domestic battery is defined as the intentional and reckless cause of bodily harm to another member of your family unit. This can also mean physical contact in general if is it is done in an insulting or angry manner. For this type of crime, first offense is considered a misdemeanor; those successfully convicted will run the risk of no less than two days spent in jail or prison and up to six months of imprisonment. They will also be fined between $200 and $500, and will have the potential to be mandatorily enrolled in a domestic violence prevention program. Consequential arrests and convictions will cause an increase in the severity of the crime.
