Homicide

Homicide refers to the act of one person causing the death of another. It can be classified into different categories, such as murder, which involves intent to kill or cause serious harm, and manslaughter, which often involves a lack of premeditation or provocation. Homicide is considered a serious crime and is subject to severe penalties. The legal distinctions aim to address the circumstances surrounding the death, including the perpetrator's intentions and the context of the act, such as whether it was planned or occurred in a moment of passion.
