In the law enforcement jargon, a suspect is a known person accused or suspected of committing a crime. Police and reporters in the United States often use the word suspect as a jargon when referring to the perpetrator of the offense (perp in dated US slang). However, in official definition, the perpetrator is the robber, assailant, counterfeiter, etc.âthe person who committed the crime.
A person who has committed a crime is called a perpetrator (or perp as on TV police dramas). If the person is not actually caught in the act or has not been convicted (or has taken a plea deal), he's a suspect. If he's on trial, he's the defendant. If the judge's gavel has fallen and he's guilty, he's a convict or (perhaps) a felon. A person who commits a crime is usually called a criminal or offender. If the person has committed multiple crimes, the person is known as a recidivist. If not yet convicted, the person is called a suspect.now lets poooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooop
