I’m not exactly sure what you’re asking, it’s just terminology but they are all crimes. From Wikipedia, in Canada specifically homicide is defined as causing death to another person. The actual crime you are charged with would be called murder, infanticide, or manslaughter depending on what you did. I think most or all countries are the same, homicide means the act of killing someone else and the other three are the actual crime you’d be charged with.

Yeah this is what I wanted to word it as lol. Just wanted to know if homicide is the "illegal" part you get convicted with, or the stuff under the umbrella of homicide.
