homicide

In law, the killing of a human being. This may be unlawful, lawful, or excusable, depending on the circumstances. Unlawful homicides include murder, manslaughter, infanticide, and causing death by dangerous driving (vehicular homicide). Lawful homicide occurs where, for example, a police officer is justified in killing a criminal in the course of apprehension. Excusable homicide occurs when a person is killed in self-defense or by accident.

Firearm homicide rates for Americans from the ages of 15 to 24 declined from 1993 to 1995. A study released in August 1998 by the National Center for Health Statistics shows that firearm homicides declined in the largest metropolitan areas an average of 8% each of those years and more than 15% in medium metropolitan areas.
