Preferred term

murder  

Definition

  • Murder and homicide are among the first terms to come to mind when Americans think about violent crime. Although both murder and homicide refer to instances in which one human being is killed by another, these terms are defined differently and evoke different responses from the legal system and society in general. [Source: Encyclopedia of Crime and Punishment; Homicide and Murder]
