CHAPTER 6

 

Murder is the unlawful taking of human life. It is a behavioral act that terminates life in the context of power, personal gain, brutality, and sometimes sexuality. Murder is a subcategory of homicide, which also includes lawful taking of human life, such as, manslaughter, deaths resulting from criminal and non- criminal negligence, and unpremeditated vehicular deaths (Megargee, 1982). Although a distinction is made in the literature among homicide, murder, and killing, for the purpose of this book, the terms are used interchangeably.
