Murder
Murder occurs when one person takes the life of another.
A murder is also referred to as a homicide.
Murder is defined by statute and the definitions vary from state to state. Federal statutes apply as
well.
Murder may fall into one of the following categories:

1. Intentional an intentional murder may require malice aforethought or a murderous

mentality/state of mind.

2. Death that resulted because of the intent to commit deadly or serious bodily injury.

3. Death resulting from reckless, wanton conduct, disregard of circumstances and laws
and/or a depraved heart.

4. Death resulting from the assistance of another party/accomplice.

Robbery
Robbery occurs when:
The perpetrator takes property from another,
Without their consent,
With the use of force or threat of force,
And with the intention of permanently depriving the owner of the property.

A violent crime or crime of violence is a crime in which the offender uses or threatens to
use violent force upon the victim. This entails both crimes in which the violent act is the

objective, such as murder, as well as crimes in which violence is the means to an end,
(including criminal ends) such as robbery. Violent crimes include crimes committed with
weapons. With the exception of rape (which accounts for 6% of all reported violent
crimes), males are the primary victims of all forms of violent crime.[1] A violent crime
may end with injury or death, both on the part of victim and offender.
