manslaughter would be the correct legal term. death caused by neglect is one of the ways in which you get charged with manslaughter.

the analogy is simple. you have a public accessible space, in which you have neglected to prevent people walking into a hole and breaking their legs or worse. someone falls in the hole and dies, you are up for manslaughter

so, if judgey-poo lets a career criminal out again after repeated life harming actions, if said criminal commits murder while free after this, the judge is an accessory by neglect.
