Arrest
Arrest, the process of taking a person into custody, usually carried out by a duly appointed law enforcement officer. Arrest can be classified as criminal or civil. Criminal arrest is generally the first step in a series of legal actions taken against a person suspected of committing a crime, in order to bring that person to court for judgment. Civil arrest, infrequently used today, is designed to compel an individual to fulfill some legal obligation at the order of a court. Certain privileged persons, such as representatives of foreign governments, are not liable to arrest in either civil or criminal proceedings. (1)
