That will depend on which State you are referring to, each State has its own classification for crimes as well as the recommended time for each classification.  check your local statutes on line or at your local library.  You could be more specific and I could answer a bit more specific

I've included links to the Criminal Code Act and to one state's Islamic Shari'ah Penal Code.  These should help get you started.

As far as I understand it, there is only one 'type' of homicide.  That is a human killing another human.  If you mean DEGREES of homocide, then that's a whole different story.\n\nModern codifications tend to create a genus of offenses, known collectively as homicide, of which murder is the most serious species, followed by manslaughter which is less serious, and ending finally in justifiable homicide, which is not a crime at all. Because there are 51 jurisdictions, each with its own criminal code, this section treats only the crime of murder, and does not deal with state-by-state specifics.\n\nAt base, murder consists of an intentional unlawful act with a design to kill and fatal consequences. Generally, an intention to cause great bodily harm is considered indistinguishable from an intention to kill, as is an act so inherently dangerous that any reasonable person would realize the likelihood of fatality. Thus, if the defendant hurled the victim from a bridge, it is no defense to argue that harm was not contemplated, or that the defendant hoped only to break bones.\n\nThe intent to commit murder is often called malice aforethought, and can be inferred when the defendant commits an act that shows depraved indifference to human life, or (in federal court and those states that apply the felony murder rule) whenever a victim is killed during the commission of another felony, whether or not the defendant intended the killing, or even committed the fatal act. In this case, the intention to place the victim in great bodily harm is inferred from the defendant's intent to commit the felony. Some states also require the underlying felony to be an 'inherently' dangerous one.\n\n\n[edit] Degrees of murder\nBefore the famous case of Furman v. Georgia in 1972, most states distinguished two degrees of murder. While the rules differed by state, a reasonably common scheme was that of Pennsylvania, passed in 1794: "Murder which shall be perpetrated by means of poison, or by lying in wait, or by any other kind of wilful, deliberate, and premeditated killing, or which shall be committed in the perpetration or attempt to perpetrate, any arson, rape, robbery, or burglary, shall be deemed murder of the first degree; and all other kinds of murder shall be deemed murder of the second degree."[10] "Murder one", as the term was popularized by novels and television, carried a penalty of death, or life in prison, while the penalty for "murder two" was generally around 20 years in prison.\n\nAfter the Supreme Court placed new requirements on the imposition of the death penalty, most states adopted one of two schemes. In both, third degree murder became the catch-all, while first degree murder was split. The difference was whether some or all first degree murders should be eligible for the most serious penalty (generally death, but sometimes life in prison without the possibility of parole.).\n\nThe first scheme, used by Pennsylvania among other states: \nFirst Degree Murder: All premeditated murders, and (in some states) murders involving certain especially dangerous felonies, such as arson or rape, or committed by an inmate serving a life sentence. \nSecond Degree Murder: Any felony murder not a first degree murder. \nThird Degree Murder: All other murder. \nThe second scheme, used by New York among other states, as well as the Model Penal Code: \nFirst Degree Murder: Murder involving special circumstances, such as murder of a police officer, judge, fireman or witness to a crime; multiple murders; and torture or especially heinous murders. Note that a "regular" premeditated murder, absent such special circumstances, is not a first-degree murder; murders by poison or "lying in wait" are not per se first-degree murders. \nSecond Degree Murder: Any premeditated murder or felony murder that does not involve special circumstances. \nSome states, such as California, simply preserved the o

There are several types of first degree murder, all of which are defined by A.R.S. § 13-1105. \n\nThe first definition of first degree murder is causing the death of another person with either the intent or knowledge that the conduct will cause death and with premeditation. Premeditation is often described as 'malice aforethought,' which basically means that you probably considered the consequence of your conduct for at least a second before you committed the act.\n\nThe second definition of first degree murder is causing the death of another person while committing or attempting to commit another crime like sexual conduct with a minor, sexual assault, molestation of a child, various drug-related crimes, kidnapping, burglary, arson, robbery, escape from jail, child abuse, or unlawful flight from a pursuing law enforcement vehicle, or while fleeing from the scene where you committed any of these offenses. \n\nThe third definition of first degree murder is causing the death of a law enforcement officer in the line of duty while intending or knowing that the conduct will cause the officer's death.\n\nAny kind of first degree murder is a class 1 felony and is punishable by death or life imprisonment. In Arizona, the trial jury decides whether the defendant has committed first degree murder. Then the judge holds a separate sentencing hearing to determine the proper sentence. A.R.S. § 13-703 outlines the various 'aggravating' and 'mitigating' factors that the judge must consider in reaching a decision about whether to impose the death penalty. \n\nRecently, the Arizona case State v. Ring went before the United States Supreme Court. The Court decided that Arizona's system of jury-conviction and judge sentencing (which is similar to the system in several other states) is un constitutional. This means that now a jury must find a person guilty of First degree murder, and also approve of the death sentence being given as punishment for the murder.

It varies by the state for the specific language, but they are all the same in idea.\n\njustifiable homicide is the taking of another's life when that individual is about to commit a felony or is in the act of commiting a felony.  A defender must take reasonable precaution not to take another's life.  For instance, a defender has a gun, an attacker a knife and there is 100 feet between them (run first).  A homicide is not justifiable when a felony has been committed at an earlier time and no immediate danger exists (someone breaks an entering, then leaves the property, the homeowner chases him down the street and shoots him).  The requirements for defense against the crimes of manslaughter/murder and the civil tort of wrongful death are different because of the hurdle of reasonable doubt for the criminal case.\n\nKeep in mind that police have special protection and a crime against a police officer may be a felony, while the same action against an ordinary citizen may not be (punching, menacing).\n\nAny time that a police officer slays another human being, there is an investigation to determine if the cop acted within the law.\n\nGrand theft auto, and eluding arrest are felonies, which is why police can be seen drawing their weapons while apprehending suspects in the act of these crimes.\n\nThe freedom of information act entitles you to obtain a copy of your specific jurisdiction's rules.

Types of Negligent Homicide\n\nThe first of these, negligent homicide, is the killing of another person through gross negligence or without malice. It can also be considered a death that is the result of the negligent operation of a motor vehicle, which includes the operation of a boat or snowmobile. In some states, the term negligent homicide replaces the terminology of manslaughter (involuntary) with similar defining. Unintentional killing(s) in which the actor(s) should have known they were creating substantial and unjustified risks of death by conduct that grossly deviated from ordinary care summarizes the relationship between the definitions of these terms (Samaha, 2002, p. 536).\n\n\nElements and Types of Involuntary Manslaughter\n\nThree versions of manslaughter (involuntary) exist. Involuntary manslaughter is separated into criminal reckless manslaughter, (gross) criminal negligence manslaughter, and unlawful or misdemeanor manslaughter. They vary by their degree of Mens Rea, or the mental mindset of the person committing the crime. A person who is held aware is also viewed more responsible for his or her actions. The Mens Rea element is the creation of risk involved with killing or seriously injuring another person either recklessly or negligently. All the other aspects are the same. The Actus Reus, the actual act constituting a criminal offense, is the killing of another person. The circumstance is the death during the commission of the unlawful act and the causation is any act that triggers a chain of events, which lead to the death of another person. The result obviously is the death of this other person (Samaha, 2002, p. 372). \n\nBlack’s Law Dictionary with Pronunciations, sixth edition defines the following terms: manslaughter, involuntary, and accidental killing. It states manslaughter as "the unjustifiable, inexcusable and intentional killing of a human being without deliberation, premeditation and malice." The definition continues to include "the unlawful killing of a human without deliberation, which may be involuntary, in the commission of a lawful act without due causation and circumspection" (1992, p. 964). Specifically, the defining of the term involuntary "is that which is performed under duress, force, or coercion" (1992, p. 827). Accidental killing on the other hand is in contrast to involuntary. It is defined as "an act which is lawful and lawfully done under a reasonable belief that no harm is possible" (1992, p. 16).
