Criminal Justice 2 Questions & Answers
Question 1: Explain the difference between international terrorism and domestic terrorism. Describe an example of each.
FBI identifies international terrorism as an act or the complex of acts which are directed against the safety of a human group due to their social, religious or political position (The FBI, 2015). Such acts are always violating federal and state law and are intended to do a mass humiliation, assassination or kidnapping.

The most common example of voluntary manslaughter is person killing his/her spouse or a lover when witnessing a betrayal. Thus the voluntary manslaughter can be identified as killing person in a rage or under the other strong emotion (Findlaw, 2015).

In such cases, a person who is under strong feelings simply can’t control its everyday actions (Findlaw, 2015).
