Best Answer

Extradition is the process whereby the legal system of one country is asked to turn someone residing in their jurisdiction over to the legal system of Another Country.

For example, if a person commits a crime in country A according to the laws of country A, then flees to country B, the authorities in country A may apply to the courts in country B to apprehend the person and have him sent back to country A for trial.

Countries have treaties with each other as to which crimes they will extradite for and which they will not.

For example, if the authorities in Pakistan wanted to prosecute a certain US ciotizen for a crime committed in Pakistan, they could apply to the courts in the US to have that person sent to Pakistan to be tried.

Added: (in the US) the same applies (as described above) between the individual states.

Where can criminals live without expropriation?

Expropriation means to take someone else's property for yourself. Extradition, which is I believe what you're referring to, is the legal surrender of a fugitive to the jurisdiction of another state, country, or government for trial. Extradition is usually determined by an extradition treaty between two nations. In other words, whether one can or will be extradited depends on the nation seeking extradition and the nation in which the individual is residing. Specifically, I don't know of any countries that lack extradition treaties without extradition treaties, but even as such, a nation can surrender an individual on a case-by-case basis if they so choose.


Is it true that Arizona doesn't have extradition to other states or is it case by case?

As with the other 49 states within the United States of America, Arizona tends to respect, and cooperate with, other states on extradition requests as long as certain legal standards are satisfactorily met. For Arizona and the other states recognize that extradition tends to be requested for the serious, felonycharges. And Arizona and the other states may not consider extradition for misdemeanors depending on the particular charges and depending on whether legal standards are met.
