Disorderly persons offense 2C:12-1

(a) NO. Conviction might be
considered a CIMT,
however if convicted
under (a)(1) and the
record reflects R,
would probably NOT
be considered a
CIMT.
If the victim was a current or
former spouse, or similarly
situated individual, a
conviction might be
considered a CODV.
Conviction under subsection
(a)(2) might also be
considered a FO if the record
of conviction establishes that
the offense involved a firearm
(as defined in 18 U.S.C. §
921(a)).
