:''This article is about homicide, the killing of a human being. For information about the television series, see: Homicide: Life on the Street.'' Homicide is the killing of another human being by one or more others. In contrast, suicide is the self killing of a human being. Legally homicide is classified as either justifiable homicide which is not a crime, or the following crimes: * murder * manslaughter ** voluntary manslaughter ** involuntary manslaughter * homicide ** negligent homicide (in some jurisdictions) *** reckless manslaughter *** mere negligence ** excusable homicide ** justifiable homicide ** legal homicide * infanticide * causing death by dangerous driving : UK offence. The mens rea requirements for this offence to be committed are weaker than the requirements for manslaughter or murder. Defenses against homicide, where the identity of the killer is not in dispute, include Insanity defense and self-defense. Defense of property is not per se a defense against homicide, although a homicide where self-defense became necessary as a result of undertaking defense of property may be justifiable homicide. Murder Crimes
Text removed from the Homicide: : nor is the legal justification of necessity a defense. IIRC correctly, that is a serious misunderstanding, and the reality is that lack of a ''reasonable'' belief that the killing was necessary is the reason that the defense is seldom successful. I've no reference one way or the other, so i've left the article noncommital. BTW, there's not a special burden of proof on the defendant for any of these defenses, is there? --User:JerzyUser talk:Jerzy 22:22, 2004 Apr 14 (UTC) ==Culpable homicide== There's something in Indian law called "culpable homicide not amounting to murder". There's already a link to culpable homicide in Union Carbide. I made culpable homicide redirect here, but it should probably redirect to manslaughter in case the two are the same thing referred to by different names in different countries. -- User:Paddu 04:39, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)
