Y, a customer in the tavern and one of the intended victims, has a heart attack and dies. May X be convicted of first degree murder? In State v. McKeiver,1 a New Jersey Superior Court, applying its felony- murder statute,2 held that this situation was sufficient to support an indictment for first degree murder. This note will attempt to examine the felony-murder rule, its purpose and the validity of this extended application. At common law the felony-murder rule was simply that a homi- cide resulting from the perpetration or attempted perpetration of a felony was designated as murder.' Today, the rule, as generally codified in this country, is that a murder4 committed in the perpetra- tion or the attempted perpetration of one of the "dangerous" felonies5 designated by statute is a first degree offense.'

  • Seattle Police Department
    Seattle Police Department Adrian Diaz, Interim Chief of Police (206) 684-5577 http://www.seattle.gov/police/ Department Overview The Seattle Police Department (SPD) addresses crime, enforces laws, and enhances public safety by delivering respectful, professional, and dependable police services. SPD divides operations into five precincts. These precincts define east, west, north, south, and southwest patrol areas, with a police station in each area. The department's organizational model places neighborhood-based emergency response services at its core, allowing SPD the greatest flexibility in managing public safety. Under this model, neighborhood-based personnel in each precinct assume responsibility for public safety management, primary crime prevention and law enforcement. Precinct-based detectives investigate property crimes and crimes involving juveniles, whereas detectives in centralized units located at SPD headquarters downtown and elsewhere conduct follow-up investigations into other types of crimes. Other parts of the department function to train, equip, and provide policy guidance, human resources, communications, and technology support to those delivering direct services to the public. Interim Police Chief Adrian Diaz has committed the department to five focus areas to anchor itself throughout the on-going work around the future of community safety: • Re-envisioning Policing - Engage openly in a community-led process of designing the role the department should play in community safety • Humanization - Prioritize the sanctity

The sample consisted of 20 subjects, the complete Bodyguard Unit from the Autonomous Government of Catalunya. Subjects were administered the Eysenck Personality Ques- tionnaire (EPQ) and the Sensation Seeking Scale form V (SSS-V) from Zuckerman. The findings seem to favour the dispositional model and that the profile of a police bodyguard matches that of prosocials. The profile of a police bodyguard is characterized by being ambiverted, emotionally stable, with low scores on psychoticism and sensation seeking, and shows a distinctive characteristic expressed by a high sincerity and a low susceptibility to boredom.

  • Chapter 11: Homicide
    Chapter 11: Homicide Chapter Overview: Chapter eleven discusses the fourth category of crime against the person, criminal homicide. This is considered to be the most serious of all criminal offenses. There are four different types of homicide: justifiable homicide, excusable homicide, murder, and manslaughter. Criminal homicide is divided into murder and manslaughter, with the distinction being the presence or lack of malice. Murder can include a broad group of crimes, such as depraved heart murders, which is a killing caused by an extreme level of negligence on the part of perpetrator, and felony murder, which is killing that takes place during the course of another felony crime. There are also separate distinctions within the terms murder and manslaughter that serve to identify different levels of crime. Manslaughter is divided into voluntary and involuntary manslaughter. Voluntary manslaughter involved a heat-of-the-moment decision made without malice. Involuntary manslaughter results from a criminal degree of negligence and in some states, like Florida, can also include categories like vehicular manslaughter. Murder is also divided into two categories: first-degree murder and second-degree murder. The distinction between the two that makes first-degree murder the most serious is that it includes premeditation and deliberation. This means that the perpetrator took time to consider his or her decision to commit the act for some length of time prior to the murder. This chapter also addresses important questions such as when human life begins and ends. Due the limits of medical science, common law utilized the rule that a person could not be criminally responsible for the murder of a fetus unless the child is born alive.
