When a no contact violation occurs, what is the violation generally considered?

Explanation:
A no-contact order is a condition of the defendant’s pretrial release. When someone violates that condition, the violation is treated as failing to comply with release terms, which is bail jumping. This focuses on the breach of release conditions rather than a general court-disobedience (contempt) or lying under oath (perjury) or theft. So, the typical charge for a no-contact violation while on bail is bail jumping.
