Expert Solution

Killing during war is often murder Colonizers and other invaders who seek to steal land, steal natural resources, and enslave or otherwise subjugate local peoples in their native lands are guilty of murder when they kill those people. This is true regardless of whatever excuses and justifications are created and disseminated by the governments of the colonizers or other invaders. Politicians who run governments have often ordered invasions in order to enrich munitions manufacturers. Much of the bombing in Indochina had little to do with defeating the local peoples, who were cast as enemies and characterized as Communists, and everything to do with turning the owners of munitions companies into multi-millionaires. In cases such as colonization and invasions to steal land and natural resources and to enslave or subjugate local peoples, killing in war is murder.

No because Sometimes people do such horrific acts that the scales can never be balanced. Serial killers / sex offenders why do we keep these people alive at a cost to the tax payer. If someone does something so horrible to you or your family I think you would be justified in taking the ultimate sanction.

Killing a person is an act of muder under the following circumstances:

when there is a consensus that the acts are wrong and that the broader socie- ty has the right and responsibility to respond. Without the context of such a judgment, a violent killing is just that—a killing. As a sociologist, I have taught criminology classes since 1997, and I have consistently focused on the importance of social context in crime. Both crime and criminals are defined as such only when the broader society judges them to be so. Crime is different from what is often presented in the popular media, wherein a particular individual is thought to have a psychological predisposition to crime, or a particular act is defined as clearly illegal.
