Criminology Final Exam- Question and
Answers [100% Correct] 2025
Interpersonal violence can be categorized into three main groups: homicide, assault, hate crimes
& sexual assault; domestic violence; workplace violence.
Homicide refers to the deliberate (non-negligent) killing of one person by another.
Gross negligence occurs when someone unintentionally causes the death of another person due
to reckless actions.
Manslaughter is defined as an unintentional killing where there is no specific intent to harm (lack
of mens rea).
Voluntary manslaughter happens when a death occurs due to an intense emotional reaction (e.g.,
discovering a spouse’s infidelity) from an immediate provocation.
Involuntary manslaughter refers to a situation where someone causes death unintentionally, such
as in cases of reckless behavior or gross negligence (e.g., car accidents).
Professional murder involves killing for financial gain.
Serial murder is when an individual kills multiple people over time, often with a cooling-off period
between each act.
Mass murder refers to a single event where an individual kills two or more people at once, rather
than over an extended period.
