Categories of Murders

Division of murders-Introductory
635. Division of murders-Introductory.-
We have next to consider the question whether it is possible to divide murders into different categories1. The question is an important one. The movement for abolition of capital punishment has induced many persons to think of a formula which would, at least, reduce the number of capital murders to the minimum.
1. On certain proposals for such a categorisation, the Law Commission sent an interim note to the Ministry of Home Affairs in December, 1962. See para. 4, supra.
