Law/Patents - Other / murder case

Dutch term or phrase: levensdelict

context: Gelet op deze opmstandigheden is de kans dat verdachte zich opnieuw zal schuldig maken aan een levens- en/of geweldsdelict bijzonder groot, zeker wanneer daarbij in aanmerking wordt genomen dat verdachte in xxx (land) ook al werd veroordeeld tot een levenslange gevangenisstraf terzake van moord.
I found 'geweldsdelict' but can't seem to find a translation for 'levensdelict'.
TIA!
