| | Manslaughter is a crime in which one individual kills another. In general, manslaughter is a subset of the crime of [[murder]], in which the death was, in some way, accidental. Within the [[United States]], states usually differentiate between voluntary manslaughter, in which harm was intended or dangerous actions were made without regard to consequences, but not killing; and involuntary manslaughter, in which no harm was intended, and no malicious act was done, but carelessness caused the death. | | Manslaughter is a crime in which one individual kills another.
