Remand, also known as pre-trial detention, preventive detention, or provisional detention, is the process of detaining a person until their trial after they have been arrested and charged with an offence. A person who is on remand is held in a prison or detention centre or held under house arrest. Varying terminology is used, but "remand" is generally used in common law jurisdictions and "preventive detention" elsewhere.

Typically, a suspect will be remanded only if it is likely that he or she coul ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
