Suspect
"Suspect" is a term used to describe an individual who is believed to be involved in a crime or wrongdoing. Law enforcement agencies often identify suspects based on evidence, witness statements, or behavior that raises suspicion. The legal process requires that suspects are treated fairly and are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
In criminal investigations, suspects may be questioned, and evidence may be collected to determine their involvement. The term can also refer to characters in literature or film, where a detective or investigator seeks to uncover the truth behind a crime, often leading to plot twists and revelations.
