A violent crime allegation is obviously an extremely serious one and because the punishments that can go along with it are so severe, it is crucial to have expert lawyers on your side right from the side. Our Norwich violent crime solicitors can help.
In UK law, there are several crimes which come under the umbrella term "violent crime," including;
GBH (grievous bodily harm)
Manslaughter
Murder
Rape
Sexual assault
"Violent crime" is basically where a person has been subjected to physical force or violence. If a death occurs due to this violence, the offence is then referred to as Homicide.
The 1957 Homicide Act differentiates between types of Homicide in the following way;
Murder. Where one individual kills another, with an obvious intent to kill.
Voluntary manslaughter. Where there was intent to kill but there is a partial defence, such as diminished responsibility.
Involuntary manslaughter. Where a death has occurred as a result of negligence on behalf of an individual.
