Question: 1 / 400

To recklessly cause the death of another person is known as what?

Murder

Manslaughter

To recklessly cause the death of another person is known as manslaughter. While some may confuse "murder" and "manslaughter" as interchangeable terms, murder typically involves intent to cause harm or death and can be premeditated, while manslaughter is often unintentional and caused by a reckless act. Homicide, on the other hand, generally refers to any killing of a person, regardless of intent or legality. Involuntary manslaughter typically involves a death caused by criminal negligence or an unlawful act not amounting to murder. Therefore, option B, manslaughter, is the most accurate and specific term for recklessly causing the death of another person.
