Arrest

When one is suspected of having committed a crime, law enforcement takes them into custody by arresting them.

The exact process varies between countries, but it typically sees police officers place a suspect in handcuffs and taking them either to be detained or interrogated.

An arrest is also often marked on a permanent legal record, though there are legal processes through which this can be expunged.
