Under the VAC framework in NY, which grouping constitutes forms of homicide?

• A. Vehicular Homicide, Aggravated Homicide, and Criminally Negligent Homicide
• B. Vehicular Homicide, Vehicular Assault, and Criminally Negligent Homicide
• C. Vehicular Assault & Homicide, Aggravated Homicide & Murder, Criminally Negligent Homicide
• D. Vehicular Assault & Homicide, Aggravated Homicide & Murder, False imprisonment

Answer: (C)

In NY’s VAC framework, homicide-related offenses are organized into three bundles that reflect how death can occur: Vehicular Assault & Homicide, Aggravated Homicide & Murder, and Criminally Negligent Homicide. This means the grouping includes the ways death can be charged—whether from a vehicle-related act that can become homicide, from more severe intent or circumstances leading to murder, and from death caused by criminal negligence. So the option listing these three bundles aligns with how the framework categorizes homicide offenses. The other options either bring in non-homicide offenses (like Vehicular Assault by itself or False imprisonment) or mix in items that aren’t homicide, which is why they don’t fit as well.
