Criminal Procedure And Evidence
Number of pages:
6
ABSTRACT:
6 pages in length. Criminal procedure encompasses myriad components that work in tandem to uphold the law and at the same time catch the perpetrator. Stage one is where the crime is first recognized or detected, with law enforcement officials utilizing the 'everyone's a suspect' approach before zeroing in on any particular individual. Once a specific suspect has been identified, the procedure moves into the second stage of accusation where the individual is fingered for allegedly committing the crime; from here, it quickly moves to number three, the arrest stage. If the alleged perpetrator is underage, he or she will be moved to juvenile court; otherwise, the procedure goes on to the fourth stage of searching for evidence. This stage can occur prior to or after the arrest depending upon the circumstances. Stages five and six – booking and follow-up investigation – round out the six main stages of criminal procedure. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
