Malcolm is a truck driver who needs to make his delivery by 9pm. His destination is still many miles away, and Malcolm is afraid he will not make the deadline. He pushes his truck as fast as the motor will go, steering around a curve. As Malcolm rounds the curve, he sees a small car stopped in his lane with its left blinker on. Malcolm cannot get the large truck to stop quickly enough and plows into the small car, killing the driver. When arrested, what crime will Malcolm MOST likely be charged with? a. first-degree murder

b. second-degree murder

c. voluntary manslaughter

d. involuntary manslaughter

D

Explanation:

Involuntary manslaughter is defined as an unintentional killing that results either from criminal negligence or the commission of a low-level criminal act such as a misdemeanor. Involuntary manslaughter is distinguished from other forms of homicide because it does not require deliberation or premeditation, or intent. Because neither of these mental states is required, involuntary manslaughter is the lowest level category of homicide.

i disagree that there is little difference between adult female development and adult male development. sociological studies comparing female and male pathways to adulthood, revelead that there are sustancial differences between them. particularly, female and male differ from timing of marriage, when they began to live with children and the likelihood of combining wife/husband and parent roles.
