manslaughter
의미: The unlawful killing of a person without the intent to kill, or where the intent to kill is present but mitigating factors reduce the offence from murder.
In English law, manslaughter is divided into voluntary and involuntary categories. Voluntary manslaughter arises where the defendant had intent to kill but a partial defence applies — such as loss of control, diminished responsibility, or a suicide pact. Involuntary manslaughter covers unlawful killings without intent, including gross negligence manslaughter and unlawful act manslaughter. Corporate manslaughter, introduced by the Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007, holds organisations accountable for deaths caused by serious management failures. It collocates with 'voluntary,' 'involuntary,' 'corporate,' 'convicted of,' and 'gross negligence.'
