Which of the following is NOT categorized as a form of homicide under the VAC framework in NY?

• A. Vehicular Homicide
• B. Vehicular Assault
• C. Criminally Negligent Homicide
• D. Kidnapping

Answer: (D)

Under NY's VAC framework, the emphasis is on crimes tied to death or the risk of death that arise from vehicular activity or criminally negligent conduct. Vehicular Homicide fits because it involves death resulting from a vehicle. Vehicular Assault fits because it involves serious harm caused by a vehicle. Criminally Negligent Homicide fits because it covers death caused by a criminally negligent act. Kidnapping, however, is about unlawful confinement or abduction and does not inherently involve death, so it does not fall under the homicide categories the VAC framework covers. Therefore, Kidnapping is the option that is not categorized as a form of homicide under VAC.
