ARRESTS Meaning and
Definition
-
Arrests can be defined as the act of apprehending or detaining a person by legal authority, typically involving the restriction of their freedom as a result of suspected criminal activity. When someone is arrested, they are taken into custody by law enforcement officials based on evidence and suspicion of commissioning a crime.
The process of an arrest typically involves the physical restraint of the individual under suspicion, commonly using handcuffs, and their subsequent conveyance to a police station or other designated place of detention. The primary purpose of an arrest is to ensure the individual's presence during legal proceedings, preventing their escape or further criminal activity.
Arrests are usually carried out following the issuance of a warrant, a written order issued by a judge or magistrate, based on probable cause or sufficient evidence to believe that the person has committed an offense. However, law enforcement officers may also make arrests without a warrant if they witness a crime in progress, have reasonable grounds to suspect someone of committing an offense, or if there are urgent circumstances that justify the immediate apprehension of the individual.
Following an arrest, the person is entitled to certain legal rights, such as the right to remain silent, the right to legal representation, and the right to be informed of the specific charges against them. The individual will then go through the criminal justice process, including booking, investigation, and court proceedings to determine their guilt or innocence.

Etymology of ARRESTS
The word "arrests" has its origins in Old French. It can be traced back to the verb "arrester", which meant "to stop, hinder, or seize". The Old French term itself came from Latin, specifically the verb "adrestare", meaning "to stop or to place". The Latin verb was a combination of "ad-" (meaning "to") and "restare" (meaning "to stay or remain"). Over time, "arrests" came to refer specifically to the act of seizing or taking someone into custody under legal authority.
