Suicide by cop

Suicide by cop is used to describe an act where the main person responsible for committing a crime such as mass-murder forces members of law enforcement to kill them, hence the term, "suicide by cop".
This occurs due to the fact that the killer who has reached a point of no return will prefer death over the possibility of spending the rest of their lives either in jail or in an institution of some sort.
In the shows in the NCIS franchise that consist of NCIS, NCIS: Los Angeles, NCIS: New Orleans and NCIS: Hawaii, some criminals have opted to commit suicide by cop.
