Crime_scenario [agentive]
A (putative) Crime is committed and comes to the attention of the Authorities. In response, there is a Criminal_investigation and (often) Arrest and criminal court proceedings. The Investigation, Arrest, and other parts of the Criminal_process are pursued in order to find a Suspect (who then may enter the Criminal_process to become the Defendant) and determine if this Suspect matches the Perpetrator of the Crime, and also to determine if the Charges match the Crime. If the Suspect is deemed to have committed the Crime, then they are generally given some punishment commensurate with the Charges.
