What is the definition of a crime of violence under the Criminal Code of Violence Act?

10. The statute defines a "crime of violence" as "an offense that has as an element the use, attempted use, or threatened use of physical force against the person or property of another." 18 U.S.C. 16(a). Matsuk's convictions for assaulting his wife and children clearly fall within that definition.
