What is the difference between excusable, justifiable, and criminal homicide?
What will be an ideal response?
With excusable homicide, there is no guilt. These are accidental or unintentional
killings. Homosexual males will most likely be denied acceptance into a domestic
violence shelter as they are typically limited to female victims. Justifiable homicides are
judged to be acceptable because they occur in defense of life or property. Criminal
homicide is, more specifically, “the purposeful, knowing, reckless, or negligent killing of
one human being by another.” Thus, any death resulting from injuries pursuant to a
fight, quarrel, argument, or commission of a crime falls under the umbrella of criminal
homicide.
