What are the two principals of homicide?
I believe the questioner is referring to Murder and Manslaughter.
Homicide, itself, is the overall term for the act of killing of another person, which may, or may not, be justifiable in law.
Although the term homicide is sometimes used synonymously with murder, they do not mean the same thing. Homicide is broader in scope than murder.
Some homicides are regarded as justified or excusable. For example, individuals may, in a necessary act of 'self defense' may kill a person who threatens them with death or serious injury, or they may be commanded or authorized by law to kill a person who is a member of an enemy force or who has committed a serious crime.
Whereas - murder is a form of criminal homicide. Typically, the circumstances surrounding a killing determine whether it is criminal or not. The intent of the killer usually determines whether a criminal homicide is classified as murder or manslaughter and to what degree.

What should you do if you are contemplating killing someone?
Think hard about the severe consequences of murder. The people affected by the loss and the people affected by losing you to a prison term or a death sentence.
Question why? Vengeance? Curiosity?
Talk with someone like a counselor or therapist even a priest or pastor.
Exposing your demon(s) to the light of day may help extinguish it once and for all.
It is unwise, and immoral to take another's life, unless you are a complete sociopath I'm gonna say you will feel very bad about acting on your feelings, or go to jail. If you are a complete sociopath, this is not something to be proud of (if you can feel pride, or any emotion what so ever, you are not a sociopath.)
The best thing to do is spend a little time cooling off, take a long walk by yourself and remember it is always mind over matter. If your mind isn't strong enough to see its fault in this urge, perhaps you should do yourself a favor and admit yourself for shock therapy. This brings up another point. If you want to kill someone out of anger, this feeling is not real. You will get over it. If you want to kill a specific person, you have a motive, and that's just a bad call. If you think killing would be fun, join the marines. And finally, if you just feel like you were born to raise some death rates, move to China. Then have a ball.
But remember this; no matter what. If you kill someone, everyone you know will be afraid of you, and probably never speak to you again. If you think that would be nice, your depressed, find out why and deal.

You do not get hired directly into a law enforcement agency for the position of Homicide Detective. You get hired as rookie Police Officer and work your way up through the job.
