People often confuse the terms criminal justice and criminology, but they are two different fields. Criminal justice, as a field, studies the agencies of social control. Criminology, on the other hand, offer explanations for the causes of crime, the nature of crime, and the extent of crime in society. The scenarios in this activity ask you to make decisions based on the criminal justice process, beginning with arrest and continuing to an appeal. Let's review a few concepts before you make a decision about this scenario. Which of the following is not a requirement for a legal arrest?
a) The suspect believes that he or she is in custody of a police officer and cannot leave voluntarily.
b) The police officer has probable cause to believe that the suspect has committed a crime.
c) The arrest is made with a valid arrest warrant issued by a judge.
d) The arrest is made in accordance with the laws and regulations governing arrests in that jurisdiction.
