What is Grievous Bodily Harm (GBH)?
Grievous bodily harm (also known as GBH) is the most serious of all non-fatal injuries to a person. It involves a person deliberately inflicting a severe injury onto another. Specific offences of GBH include:
- Causing grievous bodily harm with intent, or wounding with intent to do grievous bodily harm (Section 18 of the Offences Against the Person Act 1861)
- Wounding or inflicting grievous bodily harm (Section 20 of the Offences Against the Person Act 1861)
- Attempting to cause grievous bodily harm
A conviction under Section 20 could carry a maximum custodial sentence of 5 years, whilst under Section 18, the maximum could be a life sentence.
