victim-precipitated homicide

A quick definition of victim-precipitated homicide:

Victim-precipitated homicide is when a person intentionally provokes someone else to kill them. This can happen when someone wants to die and asks someone else to kill them, or when someone is trying to harm another person and the other person defends themselves by killing them. Unlike most types of homicide, the victim shares some of the responsibility for their own death.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Victim-precipitated homicide is a killing provoked by the victim who consciously intended to die at the hands of another person. Unlike most types of homicide, the victim bears some of the responsibility for causing their own death.

Example: A person with a terminal illness asks their friend to help them end their life. The friend agrees and assists in the suicide. This is an example of victim-precipitated homicide because the victim consciously intended to die and the friend assisted in their death.

This term applies loosely to any assisted suicide. The victim bears some of the responsibility for causing their own death, which is different from other types of homicide where the victim is not responsible for their own death.
