Alaska Assault Laws: Degrees of Assault, Felonies and Penalties
Independently fact-checked against primary sources (last audited October 14, 2026). · 12 primary sources cited on this page. How we verify our legal content
Alaska does not have a separate battery crime. Its criminal code defines four degrees of assault in AS 11.41.200 through 11.41.230, which cover both causing physical injury and, in some degrees, placing another person in fear of injury; the grade depends on the injury, the person's mental state and whether a dangerous instrument was used. Assault in the fourth degree is a class A misdemeanor, and the third, second and first degrees are class C, B and A felonies. For other states, see our guide to assault and battery laws by state.

Assault vs. battery in Alaska
Alaska's assault article, AS 11.41.200 through 11.41.282, contains no offense called battery. Conduct that other states split between assault and battery falls within the four degrees of assault. The base offense, assault in the fourth degree, reads:
"(a) A person commits the crime of assault in the fourth degree if (1) that person recklessly causes physical injury to another person; (2) with criminal negligence that person causes physical injury to another person by means of a dangerous instrument; or (3) by words or other conduct that person recklessly places another person in fear of imminent physical injury. (b) Assault in the fourth degree is a class A misdemeanor."
Paragraphs (1) and (2) cover injury actually caused. Paragraph (3) covers fear of imminent physical injury caused by words or other conduct, with no physical injury required.
Is assault a felony in Alaska?
Assault in the fourth degree is a misdemeanor. Assault in the third degree, a class C felony, is the lowest felony grade of assault, and assault in the second and first degrees are class B and class A felonies. Third-degree assault under AS 11.41.220 includes these forms:
- Recklessly placing another person in fear of imminent serious physical injury by means of a dangerous instrument, or recklessly causing physical injury to another person by means of a dangerous instrument.
- While 18 or older, recklessly causing physical injury to a child under 12, either where the injury "would cause a reasonable caregiver to seek medical attention from a health care professional in the form of diagnosis or treatment" or on more than one occasion.
- With intent to place another person in fear of death or serious physical injury to the person or the person's family member, making repeated threats to cause death or serious physical injury to another person.
- While 18 or older, knowingly causing physical injury to a child at least 12 but under 18 who is at least two years younger than the offender, when the injury reasonably requires medical treatment (see Recent changes).
- With criminal negligence, causing serious physical injury of the kind described in AS 11.81.900(b)(60)(B) by means of a dangerous instrument.
- Committing fourth-degree assault under 11.41.230(a)(1) or (2) after being convicted on two or more separate occasions, within the preceding 10 years, of crimes listed in 11.41.220(a)(5), including assault offenses under AS 11.41.200 through 11.41.220 and 11.41.230(a)(1) or (2), and offenses under a law or ordinance of this or another jurisdiction with similar elements. For this rule, the date a sentence was imposed is the date the earlier conviction occurred (11.41.220(c)).
Alaska assault offenses and penalties
| Offense | Statute | What it covers | Class | Statutory maximum |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Assault in the fourth degree | AS 11.41.230 | Recklessly causing physical injury; with criminal negligence causing physical injury by means of a dangerous instrument; or by words or other conduct recklessly placing another in fear of imminent physical injury | Class A misdemeanor | One year in jail and a fine up to $25,000 |
| Assault in the third degree | AS 11.41.220 | The forms listed above, including reckless injury or fear of serious injury by means of a dangerous instrument, listed injuries to children, repeated threats and a third qualifying assault within 10 years | Class C felony | 5 years and a fine up to $50,000; first-felony presumptive range 0 to 2 years |
| Assault in the second degree | AS 11.41.210 | With intent to cause physical injury, causing physical injury by means of a dangerous instrument; recklessly causing serious physical injury; or recklessly causing serious physical injury by repeated assaults | Class B felony | 10 years and a fine up to $100,000; first-felony presumptive range 1 to 3 years |
| Assault in the first degree | AS 11.41.200 | Recklessly causing serious physical injury by means of a dangerous instrument; intentionally causing serious physical injury; knowingly causing serious physical injury with extreme indifference to human life; recklessly causing serious physical injury by repeated assaults with a dangerous instrument; or knowingly causing unconsciousness by means of a dangerous instrument as defined in 11.81.900(b)(16)(B) | Class A felony | 20 years and a fine up to $250,000; first-felony presumptive range 4 to 7 years, or 7 to 11 years in the circumstances listed in 12.55.125(c)(2) |
| Assault in the presence of a child | AS 11.41.240 | An assault involving domestic violence, or a listed sexual assault, with reckless disregard that a child under 16 is present | Class A misdemeanor | One year in jail and a fine up to $25,000 |
| Reckless endangerment | AS 11.41.250 | Recklessly engaging in conduct that creates a substantial risk of serious physical injury to another person | Class A misdemeanor | One year in jail and a fine up to $25,000 |
| Assault of an unborn child in the first degree | AS 11.41.280 | Serious physical injury to an unborn child in the circumstances the section lists | Class A felony | 20 years and a fine up to $250,000 |
| Assault of an unborn child in the second degree | AS 11.41.282 | Serious physical injury to an unborn child in the circumstances the section lists | Class B felony | 10 years and a fine up to $100,000 |
These are the ranges for the offense itself. AS 12.55.125 sets higher presumptive ranges for second and third felony convictions, and under 12.55.125(l) a person convicted of a class A felony, such as first-degree assault, who has two or more prior convictions for most serious felonies must be sentenced to 99 years; that term may not be suspended or reduced except as that section provides. Under AS 12.55.185, most serious felonies include any unclassified or class A felony in AS 11.41, the chapter that contains the assault offenses.
Prison maximums come from AS 12.55.125 (felonies) and AS 12.55.135(a) (class A misdemeanor: "not more than one year"), and fine maximums from AS 12.55.035(b), which applies "unless otherwise specified in the provision of law defining the offense." Alaska uses presumptive sentencing for felonies, so the statutory maximum is not the typical sentence: a defendant convicted of a felony "shall be sentenced to a definite term within the following presumptive ranges, subject to adjustment as provided in AS 12.55.155 - 12.55.175." The presumptive ranges shown in the table apply to a first felony conviction outside the special circumstances listed in each subsection of 12.55.125; other ranges in that section apply in other cases.
For first-degree assault, the first-felony range rises from 4 to 7 years to 7 to 11 years if the defendant "possessed a firearm, used a dangerous instrument, or caused serious physical injury or death during the commission of the offense, or knowingly directed the conduct constituting the offense at a uniformed or otherwise clearly identified peace officer, firefighter, correctional employee, emergency medical technician, paramedic, ambulance attendant, or other emergency responder who was engaged in the performance of official duties at the time of the offense" (AS 12.55.125(c)(2)(A)).
Definitions that decide the grade
AS 11.81.900(b) supplies the definitions that separate the degrees, "for purposes of this title, unless the context requires otherwise":
- Physical injury (11.81.900(b)(49)): "a physical pain or an impairment of physical condition."
- Serious physical injury (11.81.900(b)(60)): "(A) physical injury caused by an act performed under circumstances that create a substantial risk of death; or (B) physical injury that causes serious and protracted disfigurement, protracted impairment of health, protracted loss or impairment of the function of a body member or organ, or that unlawfully terminates a pregnancy."
- Dangerous instrument (11.81.900(b)(16)): "(A) any deadly weapon or anything that, under the circumstances in which it is used, attempted to be used, or threatened to be used, is capable of causing death or serious physical injury; or (B) hands, other body parts, or other objects when used to impede normal breathing or circulation of blood by applying pressure on the throat or neck or obstructing the nose or mouth."
- Deadly weapon (11.81.900(b)(18)): "any firearm, or anything designed for and capable of causing death or serious physical injury, including a knife, an axe, a club, metal knuckles, or an explosive."
For an offense against a child under 12 under AS 11.41.200 through 11.41.250, AS 11.41.255 substitutes a different definition of serious physical injury, which also covers "serious impairment of health by extensive bruising or other injury that would cause a reasonable person to seek medical attention for the child from a health care professional in the form of diagnosis or treatment" and "serious impediment of blood circulation or breathing," among other injuries listed in that section.
Strangulation. The assault article has no separate strangulation offense. Because the dangerous-instrument definition in 11.81.900(b)(16)(B) includes hands or other body parts used to impede breathing or blood circulation by pressure on the throat or neck or by obstructing the nose or mouth, the degrees of assault that turn on a dangerous instrument can apply to that conduct. First-degree assault under 11.41.200(a)(5) specifically covers a person who "knowingly causes another to become unconscious by means of a dangerous instrument," using the (16)(B) meaning.
Assaulting a police officer, firefighter or medical professional
The four assault degrees in AS 11.41.200 through 11.41.230 do not name officers as victims. Instead, AS 12.55.135(d) sets minimum jail terms for assault in the fourth degree, or harassment in the first degree, when the defendant "knowingly directed the conduct constituting the offense at":
"(1) a uniformed or otherwise clearly identified peace officer, firefighter, correctional employee, emergency medical technician, paramedic, ambulance attendant, or other emergency responder or medical professional who was engaged in the performance of official duties at the time of the assault or harassment"
The minimum is 60 days for a violation of 11.41.230(a)(1) or (2) and 30 days for a violation of 11.41.230(a)(3). The same subsection sets a 60-day minimum for fourth-degree assault under (a)(1) or (2) directed at "a person who was on school grounds during school hours or during a school function or a school-sponsored event, on a school bus, at a school-sponsored event, or in the administrative offices of a school district, if students are educated at that office." Under AS 12.55.135(e), these minimum terms may not be suspended or otherwise reduced, and probation or parole may not be granted until the minimum term has been served.
For first-degree assault, the presumptive-range rule quoted above applies when the conduct was knowingly directed at an identified peace officer, firefighter, correctional employee or emergency responder engaged in official duties.
Domestic violence assault
The assault article has no separate domestic assault offense; an assault that is "a crime involving domestic violence," as defined in AS 18.66.990, falls under the ordinary degrees, with added consequences:
| Situation | Statute | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Fourth-degree assault involving domestic violence, one prior conviction for a crime against a person or a crime involving domestic violence | AS 12.55.135(g)(1) | Minimum 30 days in jail |
| The same, with two or more such prior convictions | AS 12.55.135(g)(2) | Minimum 60 days in jail |
| Fourth-degree assault involving domestic violence committed in violation of an order issued or filed under AS 12.30.027 or AS 18.66.100 to 18.66.180, and not sentenced under (g) | AS 12.55.135(c) | Minimum 20 days in jail |
| Assault in the presence of a child | AS 11.41.240 | Separate class A misdemeanor |
AS 11.41.240(a) provides that a person commits assault in the presence of a child "if the person commits an assault under AS 11.41.200 - 11.41.230 and the assault is a crime involving domestic violence, as defined in AS 18.66.990, or commits a sexual assault under AS 11.41.410 - 11.41.427 with reckless disregard that, at the time of the assault, a child under 16 years of age is present in the dwelling, vehicle, or location where the assault occurs." "Present" means "physically present or within hearing of the assault," and "dwelling" does not include another unit in multi-unit housing.
Under federal law, 18 U.S.C. 922(g)(9) makes it unlawful for a person convicted of a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence to possess a firearm or ammunition in or affecting commerce; the assault and battery hub explains that rule. For protective orders, see Alaska restraining order laws.
Recent changes
House Bill 239 (Laws of Alaska 2026) amended the child-victim form of third-degree assault, effective July 1, 2026, for offenses committed on or after that date. As amended, AS 11.41.220(a)(3) covers a person who, "while being 18 years of age or older, knowingly causes physical injury to a child who is under 18 years of age but at least 12 years of age and at least two years younger than the offender and the injury reasonably requires medical treatment." The age limit was previously under 16. The affirmative defense in 11.41.220(b) now applies when "the defendant reasonably believed the victim to be 18 years of age or older, unless the victim was under 13 years of age at the time of the alleged offense." Some online copies of the statute may still show the earlier text.
Civil lawsuits for assault and battery
A criminal prosecution and a civil lawsuit are separate. Although the criminal code has no battery offense, Alaska's civil limitations statute names both claims: AS 09.10.070(a) requires an action "for libel, slander, assault, battery, seduction, or false imprisonment" to be "commenced within two years of the accrual of the cause of action," "except as otherwise provided by law." AS 09.10.140 extends that period for a person who was a minor or incompetent by reason of mental illness or mental disability when the claim accrued, with limits: the extension generally runs no longer than two years after the disability ends. Subsection (c) of the statute stopped this tolling at age eight for children injured before their eighth birthday, but the Alaska Supreme Court held in Sands v. Green, 156 P.3d 1130 (Alaska 2007), that "AS 09.10.140(c) violates the due process right of minors to access the courts." Under AS 09.10.065(a), an action for conduct that was felony sexual assault or felony sexual abuse of a minor when it occurred may be brought at any time. For other filing deadlines, see our guide to the Alaska statute of limitations.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between assault and battery in Alaska?
Alaska does not have a battery crime. Its assault statutes, AS 11.41.200 to 11.41.230, cover both causing physical injury and, in some degrees, placing another person in fear of injury, in four degrees of assault.
Is assault a felony in Alaska?
Assault in the fourth degree is a class A misdemeanor (AS 11.41.230). Assault in the third, second and first degrees are class C, B and A felonies (AS 11.41.220, 11.41.210, 11.41.200), with maximums of 5, 10 and 20 years under AS 12.55.125. Repeat-offender rules can raise these, including a mandatory 99-year term for a class A felony after two or more prior most serious felony convictions (12.55.125(l)).
What is the penalty for fourth-degree assault in Alaska?
Fourth-degree assault is a class A misdemeanor, punishable by up to one year in jail (AS 12.55.135(a)) and a fine of up to $25,000 (AS 12.55.035(b)(5)). Minimum jail terms apply in some cases, such as assaults on identified officers and emergency responders engaged in official duties or repeat domestic violence assaults (AS 12.55.135(c), (d), (g)).
What happens if you assault a police officer in Alaska?
A fourth-degree assault knowingly directed at a uniformed or otherwise clearly identified peace officer engaged in official duties carries a minimum of 60 days in jail for injury-based assault under 11.41.230(a)(1) or (2), or 30 days under (a)(3) (AS 12.55.135(d)). For first-degree assault knowingly directed at such an officer, the first-felony presumptive range is 7 to 11 years (AS 12.55.125(c)(2)(A)).
Is strangulation a felony in Alaska?
Alaska has no separate strangulation offense; its definition of dangerous instrument includes hands, other body parts or objects used to impede normal breathing or circulation of blood by applying pressure on the throat or neck or obstructing the nose or mouth (AS 11.81.900(b)(16)(B)). Recklessly causing physical injury by means of a dangerous instrument is third-degree assault, a class C felony, and knowingly causing another to become unconscious by such means is first-degree assault, a class A felony.
What is assault in the presence of a child in Alaska?
Under AS 11.41.240, it is a class A misdemeanor to commit an assault under AS 11.41.200 to 11.41.230 that is a crime involving domestic violence, or a listed sexual assault, with reckless disregard that a child under 16 is present in the dwelling, vehicle or location where the assault occurs. Present means physically present or within hearing of the assault.
How long do you have to sue for assault or battery in Alaska?
Generally within two years after the claim accrues (AS 09.10.070(a)(1)). The period can be extended for a person who was a minor or incompetent when the claim arose, within the limits of AS 09.10.140, and there is no deadline for claims based on conduct that was felony sexual assault or felony sexual abuse of a minor (09.10.065(a)).
