Index Crime Summary: Murder and Non-Negligent Manslaughter Murder - Methodology Murder and Non-Negligent Manslaughter as defined in UCR is “the willful (non-negligent) killing of one human being by another.” [Uniform Crime Reporting Handbook: Texas Department of Public Safety – Crime Records; 2014]. This offense category includes any death due to a fight, argument, quarrel, assault, or the commission of a crime. Attempted murder and assaults with the intent to kill are not counted as murder, but are included in UCR as an aggravated assault. Suicides, accidental deaths, and justifiable homicides are also excluded from the murder classification. The classification of this offense as well as for all Index Crimes is based solely on police investigation and not upon determinations by courts, medical examiners, coroners, juries, or other judicial bodies.
